  • Cooked Rice 3 cups (approx. 450g)
  • Potato Starch 2 tsp
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. In a freezer-safe container, place an estimated 180-200g of cooked rice per serving. Place the lid at an angle to allow the rice to cool.
  2. In a bowl, combine 2 tsp potato starch, 2 tsp water, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp salt, and 6 eggs. Whisk until well combined. This is the secret! To make two egg rolls, divide the mixture in half into separate bowls. This ensures even cooking and easier handling.
  3. Peel and julienne 1 carrot (200g).
  4. Cut 2 bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove stems, seeds, and pith, then julienne.
  5. Trim the base of 1/2 bunch (100g) shimeji mushrooms and separate into small clusters.
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shimeji mushrooms and bell peppers and stir-fry until softened.
  7. Once cooked, add 1 tsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 tsp Soy Sauce, and 1/2 tsp Sugar. Stir-fry until the liquid has evaporated.
  8. Once the sweet and savory shimeji mushroom and bell pepper stir-fry is done, remove from the pan and let cool.
  9. Clean the frying pan, add oil, and heat over medium heat. Add the julienned carrots and stir-fry.
  10. Once cooked and softened, add 2 tsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 2 tsp Soy Sauce, and 1 tsp Sugar. Stir-fry until the liquid has evaporated.
  11. Once the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat and mix in 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
  12. Once the carrot kinpira is complete, remove from the pan and let cool.
  13. Clean the frying pan, add 100g ground pork, and break it up while stir-frying.
  14. Once cooked, add 1 tsp Soy Sauce and stir-fry to combine.
  15. Add half of the cooked ground pork to one of the bowls of whisked egg mixture. Add 30g chopped green onions and mix well.
  16. Heat oil in an egg roll pan over medium heat. Pour in half of the first bowl of whisked egg mixture (which is 1/4 of the total) and spread it evenly.
  17. As the egg sets, roll it up from the far side and move the rolled egg to the far side of the pan.
  18. Re-oil the pan and pour in half of the remaining egg mixture. Once cooked, roll it up.
  19. Re-oil the pan again and pour in the rest of the egg mixture, cooking and rolling as before.
  20. Transfer the finished egg roll to a plate and let it cool.
  21. Make the second egg roll using the remaining half of the whisked egg mixture in the same way.
  22. In the container with the cooled rice, place the carrot kinpira and the shimeji mushroom and bell pepper stir-fry on the left half.
  23. Cut each cooled egg roll into 10 equal pieces and place them on top of the rice on the right half.
  24. Close the lid and freeze. Consume within 3 weeks.
  25. To reheat, leave the lid slightly ajar or cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for about 4.5 minutes. This is the secret! Adding a binder to the egg mixture ensures it stays fluffy and delicious even after reheating.
