  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bowl of instant rice or white rice
  • 150ml water
  • Peas, a little (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon potato starch

Recipe 🍳

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. While the bottom of the egg is cooking, warm 1 bowl of rice and place it in a serving bowl.
  4. Place the cooked tender egg pancake on top of the rice, keeping its shape.
  5. 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.
  6. Once boiling, stir in a slurry made of 1 tablespoon potato starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water, adding gradually while stirring until thickened.
  7. Pour the finished smooth starch-thickened sauce generously over the egg pancake on the rice. Serve.
  1. Mix eggs with finely chopped shrimp and enoki mushrooms to make the egg mixture.
  2. Add enough oil to a pan and fry the egg mixture on both sides.
  3. Place the fried egg over the rice in a bowl.
  4. Boil water, mirin, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and peas to make the sauce.
  5. 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.
