Ingredients:

1/2 cup basmati rice
100g
6 oz broccoli
170g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup mushrooms
120g
1/3 cup mung beans
27g
2 tbsp chives
30g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup water
120g
2 tbsp oyster sauce
30g
1 tsp sesame oil
5g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a small saucepan, combine the basmati rice with 1 cup of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Fill a pot with water, bring it to a boil, and add a pinch of salt.
- Blanch the broccoli florets for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
3. Cooking the Vegetables:
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.
- Stir in the mung beans and cooked broccoli florets. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, oyster sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Stir in the cooked basmati rice and chopped chives.
5. Combine and Cook:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
- Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
6. Bake the Frittata:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on the top.
- To check, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
7. Serve:
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Pre-cook the Rice: Make sure to cook the basmati rice ahead of time and let it cool. This prevents the frittata from becoming too soggy.

- Evenly Chop Veggies: Chop the broccoli, mushrooms, and mung beans into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.

- Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs make a creamier and fluffier frittata. Always opt for the freshest eggs available.

- Don’t Overmix the Eggs: When whisking the eggs, blend just until combined to avoid incorporating too much air, which can make the frittata dense.

- Cook on Low Heat: Cook the frittata on a low heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning the bottom.

- Add Sauce Gradually: Add the oyster sauce gradually to taste. Some might prefer a more subtle flavor, while others may want it stronger.

This Foo Yung Frittata is a fantastic way to bring together diverse flavors and textures into one harmonious dish. It's easy to make and offers a great balance of protein and vegetables. Serve it hot, and enjoy every bite of this unique and nutritious meal.
