- STEP 4Mix all the ingredients of a sauce of your choice. Set aside.
- STEP 5Place a portion of steamed rice in the middle of the plate, and arrange the sautéed vegetables on top. Drizzle the rest of the sesame oil. Serve with the sauce. Mix thoroughly before eating.
- STEP 6Sunny side up eggs are a common addition. Place fried eggs on top of the rice and arrange vegetables around it for a colourful look.
