Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 85 g shiitake mushrooms sliced (halve or quarter if large)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 cup edamame beans fresh or frozen, shelled
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 4 sardine fillets in spring water from tin, drained
  • 2 eggs

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until tender and golden.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add the edamame beans then pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mirin.
  4. Cover with a lid and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to blend.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil.
  6. Bring a small pan of water with a splash of vinegar to a gentle simmer. Crack in the eggs and cook for 3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  7. If you prefer fried eggs, heat a little oil in a frying pan, crack in the eggs, and cook until done to your liking.
  8. Divide the mushroom-edamame mixture between plates. Top each portion with two sardine fillets and one egg.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy immediately.
