Main Ingredients- 1 handful of crisp bean sprouts (approx. 100g)
- 50g peeled and deveined shrimp (5-6 pieces)
- 2 fresh eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh bean sprouts under running water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4cm long. This will improve the texture when eaten with the rice.
Step 2
Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of black pepper according to your preference. Gently whisk with a fork until the eggs are smoothly beaten. Beating the eggs well will ensure a tender texture when cooked.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the prepared shrimp. To remove any fishy smell and enhance flavor, add 1 tablespoon of Mirin and stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Step 4
Once the shrimp start changing color and are almost cooked, add the cut bean sprouts and 1 tablespoon of anchovy sauce for a savory boost. Stir-fry together quickly over high heat to prevent the bean sprouts from becoming too soggy, maintaining their slight crunch.
Step 5
When the bean sprouts are slightly wilted but still retain some crispness, pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and be careful not to burn the eggs.
Step 6
Once the egg begins to set halfway, cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook over low heat for about 1 minute. This step ensures the egg cooks through gently, creating a cohesive and tender mixture.
Step 7
Arrange the freshly stir-fried bean sprouts, shrimp, and the gently cooked egg mixture attractively over a bowl of warm rice. Place them naturally, allowing them to blend with the rice grains.
Step 8
Finally, drizzle a little toasted sesame oil over the top and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to complete your delicious Shrimp and Bean Sprout Rice Bowl! For an extra touch, consider adding shredded nori (seaweed) or baby greens.
