Serves
2
Total Time
20 Minutes
Ingredients
500g of cold, cooked Japonica Rice (medium grain European rice that is produced in Greece with a stickier consistency works best)
1 tsp of neutral veg oil
1 tsp of salt
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce
100g of sliced shitake mushrooms
1 small carrot, cut into thin slices
50g of frozen edamame beans or peas
2 spring onions, whites cut into 1cm pieces & green finely sliced
2 eggs
Black sesame seeds
Method
Step 1

Mix your cold rice with the salt and soy sauce.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over high heat, add in your rice and stir to coat in the oil.

Step 3

Pat the rice down to ensure good contact with the pan until you start to get crispy edges, remove from the pan.

Step 4

Heat a little more oil and fry your mushrooms and the whites of the spring onion on high heat until browned, add in the carrot and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the rice back into the pan with the edamame beans and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Divide between two bowls and then fry 2 eggs on high heat until bubbling and lacey.

Step 7

Top your rice with an egg, sliced green spring onions and sesame seeds.
