Equipment

  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 Microwave safe bowl
  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 pot

Ingredients

  • 360 ml Sushi rice (Japanese short grain rice)
  • 360 ml Water to cook rice
  • 50 ml Vinegar (rice vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoon Fine granulated sugar or caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 4~5 Eggs
  • a pinch of Salt for eggs
  • 300 gram Thinly sliced beef (cut into pieces that are easy to eat)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 2½~3 tablespoon Japanese soy sauce
  • 2½~3 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Japanese sake or Chinese wine or sherry
  • 50~60 gram Baby salad leaves (washed & ready-to-eat)
  • ½~1 tablespoon White toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Cook rice. (details on how to cook rice are from the link in the recipe tip above)
  • Make seasoned vinegar. Put vinegar(50ml), sugar (2 tablespoon) and salt (1 teaspoon) in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Put hot cooked rice in a large bowl, sprinkle seasoned vinegar over the rice, and mix with a large spoon or spatula. Cover with a tightly squeezed wet cloth or kitchen paper and allow the rice to cool to a slightly warmer temperature.
  • Prepare scrambled eggs and stir-fried beef while the rice is cooling. 
    To make scrambled egg with microwave oven: put eggs and a pinch of salt in microwave safe bowl.  Then make a beaten egg.  Put the bowl in the microwave oven and cook for 1.5 minutes with 750w. Take the bowl out from the microwave oven and stir with a whisk.  Put it back in the microwave oven and cook 15 - 30 seconds again. Remove the bowl from oven and stir with a whisk.  This repeats until the egg mixture becomes scrambled egg.  Be careful not to overcook. If you cook too long, the some part of the eggs will turn grayish.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.  Add the beef and fry until the beef turned to brown. Then add seasoning (2.5~3 tablespoon soy sauce, 2,5~3 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon Japanese sake), fry until the juice is gone and remove from the heat.
  • Gently mix half of the baby leaves with cooled vinegared rice.  Place this in a large bowl or plate. Then put the rest of the baby leaves on top. 
  • Sprinkle scrambled egg over baby leaves.
  • Finally, place the beef in the middle and sprinkle with white sesame seeds to complete.
