Ingredients

  

• 2 scoops of rice,
• 2 sheets nori,
• 3 cloves garlic,
• 5 shallots,
• oyster sauce to taste,
• tomato sauce to taste,
• soy sauce to taste,
• sugar, salt, pepper to taste,
• 2 omelette eggs, cut into long slices,
• cucumber, sliced lengthwise to taste,
• green chili peppers to taste.

Instructions

 

• Grind shallots and garlic into a fine paste.
• Heat oil in a pan and sauté the shallot and garlic paste until it becomes fragrant and golden.
• Add the prepared rice to the pan with the spices, stirring well. Mix in oyster sauce, soy sauce, a little sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook until all ingredients are well combined and flavorful, then remove from heat.
• Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or bamboo placemat. Spread the warm fried rice over the nori, and add thin slices of omelette egg and fresh cucumber on top. Roll the sushi tightly lengthwise.
• Cut the sushi roll into several pieces. Garnish each piece with a slice of green chili pepper.

Notes

Use chilled rice as it tends to be drier and less sticky, making it easier to roll without breaking.

Soak sliced green chili peppers in warm water before serving to reduce spiciness without losing their aroma.

Ensure to sauté shallots and garlic until they are thoroughly fragrant to allow the spice flavors to fully infuse.

Use high-quality sweet and salty soy sauce for a richer, more layered flavor.

Avoid overfilling with rice and fillings to prevent the nori from tearing when rolled.

Use a bamboo mat to help roll the sushi tightly, ensuring it doesn’t fall apart when cut.

Use a very sharp knife to cut the sushi, ensuring the nori doesn’t tear and the slices are clean.

Serve the fried rice sushi immediately after preparation to enjoy the crisp texture of the nori and the savory taste of the rice.
