Makes 1 serving 1x

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 portion cold cooked rice (preferably day old)
  • 3–4 spears of green asparagus, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 scallion, white and green parts separated
  • 1 tablespoon caipu or other preserved vegetables, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots, asparagus, and the white part of the scallion. Cook until the shallots are translucent.
  2. Add the cold rice. Stir-fry until heated through and the grains separate—no wet clumps.
  3. Push everything to one side of the pan. Add a little more oil, if needed, and crack in the egg. Scramble quickly, then mix with the rice and vegetables.
  4. Season with the soy sauce, salt, and optionally some butter (I added a teaspoon of leftover miso butter). Finish with the green part of the scallions. Serve hot.
