Step 1

boil the kettle and set out: a pan to boil the rice, a frying pan or wok to combine ingredients and a bowl for serving.

Step 2

wash your rice in the pan, drain the starchy white water and add two parts boiling water for every one part rice. this will take maybe 10-12 mins to cook, cut up some nori into strips while you wait.

Step 3

when the rice is nearly done, add a little sesame oil and an egg to your frying pan on a low heat: you don't want to make scrambled egg. add soy sauce and chili oil and stir to an even consistency.

Step 4

the rice won't need draining if you added the correct amount of water, but that's quite hard to get right so drain if needed and add the rice to the frying pan and up the heat closer to medium.

Step 5

stir continuously to keep the egg moving and coat the rice. add your preferred amount of nori, sesame and linseed (i cut up about a quarter of a packet of the A4 size nori sheets, it's quicker to cut 5 sheets at once). adding the nori makes the kitchen smell of Japanese food within seconds.

Step 6

stir to combine everything, the cooking is done when there isn't any runny egg or liquid left, and the rice has soaked up all the soy sauce flavour.

Step 7

you can serve this as a side dish, or add salmon (sashimi, smoked or cooked) to make it a main meal.
