Ingredients

Steamed Truffle Rice:
2 cups of Koshikari white rice 
2 cups filtered water
40 grams chopped truffles or chopped canned truffles
½ teaspoon kosher salt 

Fried Rice:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup chopped scallions 
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 cup diced dry Chinese sausage (such as Lup Chong)
4 eggs, beaten
Steamed Truffle Rice (above)
¼ cup Kikkoman®️ Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 large pinch pepper, or to taste
1 large pinch kosher salt, or to taste 
¼ cup truffle oil 
2 tablespoons chopped pickled ginger (beni shoga)
Freshly shaved truffles (optional) 

 

Directions

  1. To prepare the Steamed Truffle Rice, rinse rice thoroughly until water runs clear, drain excess water and place in a rice cooker. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes; let stand for 10 minutes.  
  2. Remove rice and spread onto a baking sheet. Refrigerate to cool completely, uncovered, for several hours or overnight to dry out. 
  3. To prepare Fried Rice, heat oil in a wok or a very large skillet and gently sweat sausage, scallions and ginger. Turn the heat up and add eggs; cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Add the cold truffle rice, soy sauce, butter, pepper and salt; sauté over high for about 3 minutes, tossing the pan and stirring so the rice does not burn on the bottom.  
  4. Add truffle oil and ginger and stir well. Transfer to a bowl and shave fresh truffles generously over the top.
