Bol Renverse — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

An iconic Sino-Mauritian dish of rice, stir-fried vegetables, and a fried egg, all layered in a bowl then flipped upside down on a plate.

Ingredients

1 Stir fry garlic and ginger in a wok with oil until fragrant. Add tofu cubes and cook until lightly golden.
2 Add mixed vegetables and stir fry on high heat for three minutes until tender-crisp.
3 Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4 Fry eggs sunny side up in a separate skillet, keeping yolks runny.
5 Pack hot rice firmly into a bowl, top with the stir-fried vegetables and tofu, then place a fried egg on top.
6 Place a plate over the bowl, flip it upside down in one swift motion, and carefully lift the bowl to reveal the layered dome.
