Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons potato starch
  • 1 tablespoon water or dashi, 15 milliliters
  • 1 teaspoon sake
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste, freshly ground
  • 4 egg large
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided, 30 milliliters
  • 2 ounces garlic chives cut into 1 inch pieces, 57 grams
  • 2 cups Steamed rice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the potato starch and water or dashi.
  2. Beat in the sake, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, followed by the eggs.
  3. In a large wok or pan, drizzle 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) oil over medium high heat.
  4. Add the garlic chives and cook, stirring constantly, until they turn a vibrant green color and the moisture has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  5. If needed, add the remaining oil and pour in the egg mixture. Cook for a minute to set before gently folding to scramble or leave intact to create an omelet before flipping to cook the other side.
  6. Divide the steamed between two serving bowls. Once the eggs are barely set, transfer to place over the rice. Serve immediately.
