Enjoying Sprouts: Delicious Sprout Vegetable Rice Balls and Flavorful Mustard Sauce | Sprout Vegetable Recipes, Rolled Omelet Rice with Mustard Sauce
Wondering how to enjoy sprouts deliciously and in larger quantities, I decided to incorporate them into rice balls! Dipping them into the delightful sauce makes one serving disappear in an instant. This recipe is a fantastic way to add fresh, crunchy sprouts to your meal.
Ingredients for Rice Balls- 1 bowl of cooked rice (approx. 200g)
- 60g fresh sprout vegetables
- 2 eggs
- Cooking oil, for greasing
- 1 tsp salt (for seasoning rice)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt (for egg whites and yolks)
Sauce- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey (or corn syrup)
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2/3 Tbsp prepared mustard (like Dijon or Chinese mustard)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey (or corn syrup)
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2/3 Tbsp prepared mustard (like Dijon or Chinese mustard)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently wash the fresh sprout vegetables under running water and pat them dry. Set them aside. Now, let’s prepare the delicious sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp honey (you can substitute with corn syrup if honey is unavailable), 2 Tbsp vinegar, 2/3 Tbsp prepared mustard, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth. This creates a wonderfully balanced sweet, sour, and slightly spicy mustard sauce.
Step 2
Prepare 1 bowl (about 200g) of warm cooked rice. Season the rice with 1 tsp of salt for a subtle flavor base. Add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds. Using a spoon or spatula, gently mix the rice to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to mash the rice grains. The fragrant sesame oil and the texture of the sesame seeds will enhance the overall taste of the rice.
Step 3
Add the prepared sprout vegetables to the seasoned rice and mix gently. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to preserve the crisp, fresh texture of the sprouts. Once the ingredients are combined, shape the mixture into bite-sized rice balls. You can make them small like baby food or form them into slightly larger portions, whichever you prefer.
Step 4
Separate the two eggs, placing the yolks and whites into two different bowls. Season each part with 1/2 tsp of salt, divided between the yolks and whites. For a smoother, thinner omelet, add 1 tsp of water to the egg yolks and mix well. (Referencing the video tutorial can offer helpful tips for making thin omelets.)
Step 5
Now, let’s cook the egg omelet. Lightly grease a frying pan with a small amount of cooking oil, then wipe it with a paper towel to create a thin, even coating. Once the pan is heated over low to medium-low heat, carefully ladle the egg mixture onto the pan. Spread it thinly into a round shape, like a crepe. Tilting the pan or using the back of a spoon can help create a uniform circle. Once the egg is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, place a prepared rice ball in the center. Gently roll the egg omelet around the rice ball, encasing it completely. Cook slowly over low heat to prevent the egg from tearing.
Step 6
Finally, dip the freshly made sprout vegetable rice balls generously into the prepared mustard sauce and enjoy! The delightful combination of crunchy sprouts, soft egg, and savory rice creates a truly satisfying bite. The tangy mustard sauce cuts through any richness, making these rice balls incredibly addictive. Enjoy your delicious creation!
