This is a dish I first had in Singapore. It was easy to reproduce while living in California, but some ingredients are more difficult to find in Pennsylvania. I sometime have to make my own BBQ pork, and plan to make the dish when fresh bean sprouts are in the store. I picked "breakfast" as a second category, because I had this dish several times in Hong Kong for breakfast, yummy.

although the dry heat cooking methods technique didn't cover a wok, I still got a lot out of it, because I wasn't afraid to get the wok screaming hot. My stove finally was used as it should be!
Steps
1
Cooking the rice (should be done ahead, so it is completely cool)
Ingredients
1 cup Jasmine Rice
1 2/3 cup water
salt to taste
Bring water and salt to a boil, add rice, cover and steam for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, leave covered and allow to sit for 20 minutes.
The rice should be cold when added to the wok.
2
saute the eggs
Ingredients
2 large eggs whipped
salt to taste
I use a 12 inch saute pan. I pour the whipped eggs into the pan and sort of form a crepe. I actually like the egg to take on some color, although, this is not traditional. After the egg is set, I give it a quick flip, then let it cool a bit before cutting it into julienne strips.
