Recipe 🍳
- Crack 3 eggs into a cup or bowl. Cut the enoki mushrooms and shrimp into bite-sized pieces, add to the eggs, and mix together.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan until very hot. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and fry until moist and evenly cooked on both sides.
- While the bottom of the egg is cooking, warm 1 bowl of rice and place it in a serving bowl.
- Place the cooked tender egg pancake on top of the rice, keeping its shape.
- In the same pan, pour in 150ml water, add peas, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Bring the sauce to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in a slurry made of 1 tablespoon potato starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water, adding gradually while stirring until thickened.
- Pour the finished smooth starch-thickened sauce generously over the egg pancake on the rice. Serve.
- Mix eggs with finely chopped shrimp and enoki mushrooms to make the egg mixture.
- Add enough oil to a pan and fry the egg mixture on both sides.
- Place the fried egg over the rice in a bowl.
- Boil water, mirin, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and peas to make the sauce.
- Thicken the sauce with potato starch slurry and pour over the egg. Finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Eggs absorb a lot of oil, so use about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and fry in a thoroughly heated pan for a fluffy and soft result.
- If you don't have shrimp or enoki mushrooms, you can substitute with leftover squid or other vegetables finely chopped.
