A fried rice made with nothing but onion, katsuobushi, and rice, inspired by the poor man's meals that appear in Makoto Shiina's novels and made ever since out of admiration for them. The key is to use plenty of onion and to press the rice down and sear it rather than stirring it. The fragrant sweetness of the onion pairs beautifully with soy sauce and katsuobushi.

Instructions

The ingredients used here are onion, katsuobushi, and rice — just two items plus rice. It is a simple fried rice, so there is little to prepare.

2
Slice the onion. This is the only step that requires a knife.
1:34~5 min
3
Gather the onion, rice, and katsuobushi within reach and you are ready. Now start cooking.

4
Place the frying pan over heat and warm it thoroughly.
2:49
5
Add about 2 tablespoons of oil to the heated pan and coat it evenly.

6
Add the sliced onion. The more onion, the tastier it is, so use as much as you like.
3:38
7
Add about 300g of rice on top of the onion and press it flat lightly with a spatula.
3:46
8
Leave it alone for a while without stirring to let the onion and rice brown. High heat is fine.
4:19~3 min
9
Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. You can keep the heat on high.
5:12
10
Once a fragrant aroma rises, flip it over. Press and sear it instead of stirring, keeping it sizzling and crackling.
5:37~3 min

Once it is nicely browned, drizzle in soy sauce just for aroma, scatter the katsuobushi over the top, and mix.
