RICE BOWLS WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the broccoli in a large microwave-safe dish; add 2 tablespoons water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until browned around the edges, about 4 minutes. Stir in the broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions, edamame, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, snow peas, teriyaki sauce and Sriracha. Continue to cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• Divide the rice and vegetables among bowls. Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set, about 2 minutes. Add a fried egg to each rice bowl; top with more Sriracha.

FRIED RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Place the dried bean curd in a bowl, and cover with boiling water. In a smaller bowl, place the shredded black fungus and dried black mushrooms, and cover with boiling water. Allow the bean curd, black fungus, and dried black mushrooms to soak until rehydrated, about 20 minutes.
• Place 3 1/4 cups of water with rice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and let it boil hard for one minute. Cover with a lid, and turn heat to low. Cook on low for 5 minutes, then remove from heat (without lifting the lid). Let sit, covered, while you prepare the rest of the meal, or about 20 minutes. Do not at any time lift the lid.
• In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Scramble eggs to the dry instead of the creamy point. Dump them into a bowl, and continue to chop them into bits with the edge of a wooden spoon. You don't have to pulverize them, go for pieces about the size of your thumbnail.
• In one bowl, combine carrot, onion, garlic, and ginger. In another bowl, green onions and frozen peas. Now drain all the water off the bean curd, fungus and mushrooms. The bean curd might need some tough bits removed, and the remainder cut into quarter-inch rings. The mushrooms only need slicing and the fungus is pre-sliced so no worries there. Combine bean curd and mushrooms in a third bowl.
• Heat wok over high heat; let the metal get smoking hot, about one minute. Add three tablespoons of vegetable oil. Wait about 30 seconds, and tip in the bowl of carrot, onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently. The garlic's going to brown first because it has the highest sugar content, so keep an eye on it, and turn the flame down if necessary. Tip in the bean curd, shredded fungus, and mushrooms, and cook and stir for one minute. Now look to see that your flame is set to maximum, and tip in the spring onion and the frozen peas. You don't need to cook them, just threaten them. Keep them moving, and mix in the rice. Stir in the eggs, and then season with generous, generous amounts of tamari and sesame oil, and a few twists of fresh black pepper.
