  1. KEWPIE MAYO-COATED RICE

    Boil the kettle for step 2. Place the rinsed rice in a pot. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat. Set aside to steam with the lid on for a further 10 minutes until cooked and tender. Drain if necessary, mix in the mayo until the rice is well-coated, and set aside.

  2. DICE, SLICE, AND SHRED

    Roughly dice ½ the onion. Trim the carrot and roughly dice. Finely slice the spring onion, keeping the white and green parts separate. Roughly shred the nori sheet. Set aside. Place the edamame beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until plumped up. Drain and set aside for serving.

  3. BRING HOME THE BACON

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the bacon slices and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and crispy. Drain on paper towel, then roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.

  4. GOING THE EGG-STRA MILE

    If you would like to add a scrambled egg to the dish, crack 1 egg into a bowl. Add some seasoning and whisk until fully combined. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the diced onion, diced carrot, corn, and black sesame seeds. Fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the spring onion whites and the sake, and cook until almost completely reduced. Add the whisked egg (if using) and fry for 1-2 minutes until cooked through and scrambled, shifting constantly. Add the kewpie rice and chopped bacon, and pour over the sesame-soy. Mix until fully combined and season to taste.
