Chinese Shrimp and Egg Bowl with Sautéed Cabbage, Rice, and Ginger-Chili Sauce

A quick, highly filling but light homemade bowl: controlled rice portion, large serving of shrimp, soft egg, crunchy napa cabbage and bok choy, and a soy-vinegar-ginger sauce spiked with chili oil.

Ingredients

  • 140 g raw or cooked peeled shrimp
  • 1 large fresh egg
  • 90 g cooked white rice
  • 150 g fresh napa cabbage
  • 100 g fresh bok choy
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 morceau de 2 cm, environ 8 g fresh ginger
  • 1 small clove fresh garlic
  • 1 tsp Chinese chili oil
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 petite tige fresh scallion

Method

  1. Slice the napa cabbage and bok choy. Grate the ginger and garlic. Thinly slice the scallion into rounds.
  2. In a bowl, combine the light soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, chili oil, and toasted sesame oil.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten egg, scramble quickly for 30 to 45 seconds, then set aside on a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add the shrimp. If raw, cook for 2 to 3 minutes until pink; if already cooked, just heat through for 45 seconds.
  5. Add the napa cabbage and bok choy. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes: the vegetables should cook down but remain slightly crunchy.
  6. Pour the sauce into the skillet, return the egg, and toss for 30 seconds to coat everything.
  7. Place the 90 g of cooked rice at the bottom of a bowl. Top with the shrimp-egg-cabbage stir-fry, then finish with the scallion.
  8. Eat very hot, optionally with a few extra drops of rice vinegar if the bowl seems too salty or rich.
