In Hong Kong Cha chaan teng cuisine, the corned beef sandwich refers to a variation made with bully beef: the canned beef is broken into minces and mixed with beaten eggs, and the mixture is fried into either a patty similar to egg foo young, or a hash of egg and beef pieces; either which are then sandwiched between bread slices.^[2][3][4]

A contraband corned beef sandwich on rye bread brought aboard the Gemini 3 spacecraft by John Young resulted in a minor controversy, for the risk posed to the craft and crew by floating crumbs and lingering odors.^[5]
