This delicious meal is a popular example of the Japanese adaptation of Chinese cuisine called Chuka Ryori. Top it with your favorite chili crunch for a kick of umami and spice.   (A white plate containing Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg Over Rice.)  In my many years of cooking for the family, I’ve learned to count on one-pan and one-bowl recipes for busy weekdays. When the kids come home hungry, I can immediately cook up a decent hot meal for them without having to succumb to take-out or instant noodles!    If you find yourself in need for inspiration, I would love for you to try Niratama Donburi  (ニラ玉丼ぶり), or Garlic Chives and Egg Over Rice ! This is a wholesome yet delicious recipe that anyone can rustle up in just 10 minutes! If you have eggs and chives in the fridge and frozen rice in the freezer, you’re good to go.  Table of Contents What’s Niratama ?  How to Make Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg The Ingredients You’ll Need  The Cooking Steps    Variations with Add-on Protein  Cooking Tips  Spice It Up!  What to Serve with Niratama Donburi    (A white plate containing Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg Over Rice.)  What’s Niratama ? Niratama (ニラ玉) literally means garlic chives (nira in Japanese)and  egg (tama shorten for tamago ).   Here, we have eggs and garlic chives cooked until they are fluffy yet crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and serve it over steamed rice.  In Japan, you’ll find several variations of niratama. Some dishes are covered with a thick sweet and sour gravy sauce called an (あん) or ankake (あんかけ) like (https://www.justonecookbook.com/tenshinhan/) Tenshinhan . Some dishes come with dashi-based sauce. Some look more like a regular stir-fried dish. Today, I share my version, the way my family likes it. It’s very simple to follow, but you’re welcome to adapt and modify the recipe. More suggestions below! (A white plate containing Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg Over Rice.)  How to Make Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg The Ingredients You’ll Need Garlic chives (also called Chinese Chives or Nira in Japanese) – Why use (https://www.justonecookbook.com/garlic-chives/) garlic chives ? This allium plant is very popular in East Asian and Southeast Asian cooking because of their subtle taste of garlic with a bit of onion flavor. I love how much they can transform a simple fried egg into something so flavorful, colorful, and full of texture.  Eggs  Seasonings – sake , soy sauce , salt , and black pepper  Cooking oil – sesame oil and neutral oil   The Cooking Steps In a bowl, beat the eggs and add seasonings. Stir-fry the garlic chives in a wok until they are wilted. Take them out and add them to the egg mixture. Cook the egg and chive mixture in the hot wok. Stir and cook until the eggs are almost done. Then, place it over the steamed rice.  (A white plate containing Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg Over Rice.)  Variations with Add-on Protein I keep this recipe vegetarian-friendly , but Japanese home cooks do like to add a small portion of sliced pork loin or pork belly to make buta niratama  (豚ニラ玉, buta means pork in Japanese).   Besides pork, shrimp or firm tofu would work great. Keep in mind that the protein should be a small portion since the garlic chives and eggs are the star of the dish. Cook the protein first, before you cook the garlic chives. Take them out to a plate as soon as it’s done cooking. Add them back after your egg is almost done cooking in the wok. All you need to do is to combine it with the egg mixture.  Cooking Tips Do not overcook garlic chives.  The flat leafy parts get cooked really fast. Start with the thick stems, then add the leafy parts. You don’t need to stir-fry for a long time. Distribute the oil to the sides of the wok (or frying pan). This way, when you slide the eggs, they won’t stick to the wall. The wok (or frying pan) should be really hot when you add the egg mixture. The hot oil will immediately cook the eggs from the edges and the eggs will float. That’s how you make fluffy eggs. If the oil is not hot, this will not happen. Keep in mind that the remaining heat will continue to cook the eggs . When the eggs are not runny anymore, turn off the heat or remove the wok from the heat.  Use a small portion of the protein , if you are adding. Garlic chives are easy to blend into the egg mixture, but the pieces of protein won’t be. So, keep it in a small portion.   (A white plate containing Stir-Fried Garlic Chives and Egg Over Rice.)  Spice It Up! We love adding some of my homemade (https://www.justonecookbook.com/crunchy-garlic-chili-oil/) Crunchy Garlic Chili Oil (Taberu Rayu) to the egg. Compared to Chinese brands of chili crisps, Japanese chili oil ismilder on the spice level. Don’t let the red color intimidate you. My kids who don’t typically tolerate heat well actually enjoy this.   (A Weck glass jar containing Crunchy Garlic Chili Oil (Taberu Rayu).)  You can purchase this Japanese chili oil on (https://amzn.to/3DKaGMH) Amazon  , but it’s (https://www.justonecookbook.com/crunchy-garlic-chili-oil/) very easy to make at home so I make a big batch.  What to Serve with Niratama Donburi You can enjoy the rice bowl as it is. For a more complete or elaborate meal, serve the stir-fried garlic chives and egg dish with rice, along with other side dishes and a soup.

(Measuring White Rice)   Gather all the ingredients. If you wish, you can add a very small portion of the protein of your choice to this dish. In Japan, we often add thinly sliced pork belly or pork loin to Niratama Donburi .  (Niratama Donburi (Chive and Egg Rice Bowl) Ingredients)      To Make the Niratama Cut 1 small bunch garlic chives (Chinese chives or Nira) into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces. Separate the tough bottom part from the green leafy part.  (Niratama Donburi 1)   Combine 3 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell) , 1 tsp sake , ½ tsp soy sauce , ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt , and freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl and mix.  (Niratama Donburi 2)   Heat a wok or frying pan (I use and love (https://mtckitchen.com/summit-iron-beijing-wok-stir-fry-pan-10-dia/) this wok  ; Use JOC10 to get a 10% discount) on medium high. When it‘s hot, add ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil . To the oil in the wok, add the tough bottom part of the garlic chives first, then the green leafy parts on top. If you‘re adding protein (meat or seafood) , cook it before the garlic chives, transfer to a plate, and then put it back into the wok after adding the egg mixture.  (Niratama Donburi 3)   Stir-fry until slightly wilted. Then, transfer the garlic chives to the egg mixture. Tip: You don‘t need to wash the wok, but make sure it‘s clear of any food particles.  (Niratama Donburi 4)   Mix the garlic chives with the egg mixture to combine. Serve 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice in individual large donburi bowls or on individual plates.  (Niratama Donburi 5)   Add 2 Tbsp neutral oil to the same wok over medium-high heat and distribute the oil around the wok to coat. You‘ll know the oil is hot enough when 1) you see smoke coming off from the edge of the wok and 2) the oil looks thin and moves smoothly around the pan. To the hot oil in the wok, add the egg and chive mixture.  (Niratama Donburi 6)   The egg mixture will get fluffy around the edges. Quickly mix only the center of the egg mixture so the raw egg has contact with the hot frying pan. The main goal is to cook the center of the egg mixture as soon as possible. Tip:  We do not flip the egg because we want to keep it soft and yellow for the final presentation.   (Niratama Donburi 7)   If you are adding protein , add the cooked protein of your choice at this stage. Don‘t worry if the eggs do not look completely cooked because the residual heat and the hot steamed rice will continue to cook them. When the center of the wok has less runny egg, divide it into 2 portions.   (Niratama Donburi 8)     To Serve Top the steamed rice in each donburi bowl with the stir-fried garlic chives and egg.

Kinda feel disconnected from my food culture after my grandmother’s death and now my parents. And it’s horrible cuz we’ve been eating excuslively japanese for most our life. Should have learned how to cook. I used to eyeroll my parents when asked to join in. Nice blog. Thank you!Any way to make mochi myself? The ones my parents and grandma did were so nice but the store-bought ones that I’m forced to eat now just don’t taste quiet like it. There is a Korean brand that’s fantastic but that’s it really. The taiwanese brands just taste too goeey or too “heavy”.Also, looking for home recipes not fancy stuff but home stuff like oden recipes and oyakodon. Currenlty just doing basic natto and ohitashi with the occasional fish or egg based omlette with dashi stock or wakame.(5 stars)       (4) 4     Reply         Naomi (JOC Community Manager)  Admin   (https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Hi Kei, Thank you for reading Nami’s post and tryi... &url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.justonecookbook.com%2Fniratama-donburi%2Fcomment-page-3%2F%23comment-499410) (Share On Twitter)        Reply to Kei   (Oct 16, 2023 3:05 am)  10 months ago        Hi Kei, Thank you for reading Nami’s post and trying her recipes!Here is a recipe for homemade mochi that we hope you enjoy: (https://www.justonecookbook.com/how-to-make-mochi-with-a-stand-mixer/) https://www.justonecookbook.com/how-to-make-mochi-with-a-stand-mixer/ For other recipes, here is the link to the recipe index.
