Instructions
Pilaf
- Heat a pan on medium/medium-low. Once heated, add ½ tbsp olive oil and 1 garlic clove (finely diced).
- Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add 200 g shrimp or mixed seafood and 3 brown button mushroom (sliced). Stir fry for a few minutes.
- Pour in 2 tbsp white wine, ½ tsp lemon juice and fry until the liquid is almost gone.
- Add ½ tsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp fresh parsley . Stir fry for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Cut a knorr stock cube in half and crush it with the back of a knife. We will add this to the fried rice later. (Save the other half for the béchamel sauce.)
- Heat a large wok on medium and melt ½ tbsp unsalted butter. Add the 100 g yellow onion (finely diced) and fry until softened and slightly translucent.
- Next, add 250 g cooked Japanese short-grain rice and stir fry for a few minutes or until the rice is warmed through.
- Add the spices (⅛ tsp cumin powder, ⅛ tsp cinnamon, ⅛ tsp paprika powder and ⅛ tsp turmeric powder) and ½ knorr chicken bouillon cube you crushed earlier, and stir fry until well combined.
- Once the spices are well distributed, add 1 tbsp tomato ketchup and mix well.
- Add the contents of the other pan (seafood and mushrooms) to the rice and stir fry everything together until the ingredients are well distributed throughout the rice.
- Remove from the heat and set aside for later.
Béchamel Sauce
- Take a saucepan and melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter butter over a low heat.
- Once it's melted, add 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and mix thoroughly until smooth to make a roux.
- Add half of the 200 ml whole milk (100ml), the other ½ chicken bouillon cube and ¼ tsp salt. Whisk until smooth.
- When it becomes a thick ball of paste, add the remaining milk one half at a time, and break up the lumps with a whisk. (If it's thickening too quickly, lift the pan off the heat from time to time to slow down the cooking process.)
- Continue to whisk until smooth. Once the sauce has thickened to a consistency that would cover the back of a spoon, turn off the heat and add 1 pinch nutmeg powder. Whisk once more and remove from the heat.
Assembling
- Preheat the oven to 220 °C (428 °F). While it heats, assemble the doria. Start by making a layer of rice in an oven-proof dish.
- Coat evenly with béchamel sauce.
- Sprinkle generously with preferred shredded melting cheese and/or hard cheese (optional)of your choice.
- Bake on the top shelf for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is browned.
- Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- I used two 10x16cm (4x6") individual oven dishes for two servings.
- This recipe also works well with chicken instead of seafood.
