I go to this place down the block from me often and order something called: ojiya
Basically ojiya is rice and egg boiled in broth. It's super healthy, vegetarian, low calorie AND FILLING!!
So, I figured I'd post the basic recipe, and what I like to add to it to make it yummy
Basic Ojiya:
1 serving cooked rice (can be any kind of rice you want, brown, white, rice pilaf, doesnt matter it all works)
1-1.5 cups of water or broth (any kind of broth you want. Note: whatever broth you use will be the taste of the Ojiya)
1-2 eggs, I like to use 1 egg and 1 egg white (Note: you really need at least 1 yolk to make it get really thick)
Directions:
1. Boil the water or broth (add your boullion cube before the rice, if using water)
2. Add rice, let the rice simmer for at least 5 minutes, it will start to absorb the water. The longer you let it sit there, the better it generally tastes (but no more than 20 minutes!!)
3. Mix up the egg in a separate container, and add to the mixture
4. Stir frequently for 5-6 minutes before removing from heat and eating!
SO EASY, even I can do it...
So, things that I like to add to make it yummy:
I like to make it Japanese style. You can go to any supermarket and get any kind of soup bases or you can make your own.
I've also done it with low sodium chicken broth... just as awesome.
Low sodium variations work well, I like to add McCormick Saltless to make it taste better... this dish can get salty pretty easily with took much broth, so it's something to think about.
Sometimes I add mushrooms, miso soup packets (if using water), scallions or bonito flakes.
Any vegetable would work, just add it with the rice to let it simmer before the egg.
It also tastes good cold.
The best part is that it's super healthy and has protein/carb/fat. And it's generally 200-300 calories per serving, depending on what you put in it. It's so filling and so easy. The one I made today was about 275 calories.
So, I thought I'd pass it on!! Enjoy.
Oh, and does anyone else have any good thinandhealthy recipes!! I'm always looking for new stuff. Thanks!
