Ingredients - YIELD: 4-6 servings:
1.25 cups raw rice
2T sesame oil
200 grams ground steak (about a little less than 1/2 lb)
Seasonings:
3T well chopped long onion (green onion)
1t chopped garlic
2T soy sauce
a little pepper
1T sesame oil
1/2T ground sesame seeds
Soy sauce to taste
1 egg yolk
Preparation:
Wash the rice and drain it well. In a fry pan, add the sesame oil. Add
the drained rice and 'stir fry' for a bit. (This is similar to what you do
when you make a risote.) Take off the heat until called.
Add the Seasonings to the beef and stir fry it. Add 7 cups of water to
the meat and continue to cook on low. You are making a beef broth at this
stage. Once you have the broth (20-30 minutes), add the rice. DO NOT STIR.
Turn to very low. You will have to cook it about 30 minutes, until the rice
has (mostly) lost its shape and is very much like gruel.
Just before serving, add a bit of soy sauce to add the right amount of
salty taste and drop the egg yolk on top.
