Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- rice 300g
- bean sprouts 1 handful
- water 1.9 times the weight of rice (about 570ml)
- light soy sauce to taste
- oligodextrin 1 tablespoon
- squid fish sauce 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- sugar a pinch
- red pepper powder 2 tablespoons
- green onion generously
- green chili pepper 1
- sesame oil 1 tablespoon
- egg yolk 1
Recipe 🍳
- Place 300g of clean rice in the pot, then add water at a ratio of 1.9 times the rice weight—about one ladle less than that amount.
- Lay a handful of well-cleaned bean sprouts on top of the rice.
- Close the lid and bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as you hear the sound of rice cooking, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting and steam for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, turn off the heat completely and let the rice rest with the lid closed for another 10 minutes—do not open the lid during this time.
- While the rice cooks, mix together light soy sauce, oligodextrin, squid fish sauce, minced garlic, sugar, red pepper powder, and finely chopped green onion and green chili pepper to make the sauce.
- Transfer the finished bean sprout rice to a bowl, then garnish with sesame oil, fresh egg yolk, and the homemade sauce to serve.
- Put rice and water in the pot, place bean sprouts on top, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- As soon as boiling sounds start, lower the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let steam for 10 more minutes.
- Prepare a spicy, generous green onion and chili sauce, then mix it with the rice and egg yolk before serving.
Cooking tips 💡
- Since bean sprouts release moisture naturally, use slightly less water than usual when cooking rice to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
- Don’t hold back on green onions in the sauce—adding more enhances both the crisp texture and aromatic depth.
