Cook the Rice 1. Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. 2. Cook the rice using a rice cooker or a pot with the appropriate amount of water. 3. Once cooked, shape the rice into a mound on the plate, leaving a small well in the center for the egg yolk.
Prepare the Curry 1. Heat the Japanese curry sauce in a small pot over medium heat. 2. If using a curry block, dissolve it in 1 cup of hot water and stir until smooth. 3. Once hot, pour the curry over one side of the rice. 4. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for garnish.
Prepare the Side Dishes 1. Cabbage & Ham: • In a pan, sauté chopped cabbage with a little oil. • Add sliced ham or luncheon meat and stir-fry until slightly browned. • Remove and set aside on the plate. 2. Sausages & Lettuce: • Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and lightly fry them in a pan. • Place them on fresh lettuce leaves.
Assemble the Dish 1. Place the egg yolk in the well of the rice mound. 2. Serve the curry beside the rice. 3. Arrange the cabbage-ham mixture and lettuce with sausages on the side.
