- 1 cup uncooked short-grain brown rice (sushi rice)
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Spring Onion Ginger Sauce Place spring onion, ginger, and salt in a heatproof bowl, spreading evenly across the bottom. In a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat until it shimmers (not smoking). Carefully pour the hot oil over the spring onion and ginger to sizzle and lightly cook the aromatics. Stir to combine. Set aside. (Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Bring to room temp before serving.)
- Crispy Rice Cook rice according to package instructions. For best results, chill overnight. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Using a spatula, press cold rice into the pan in an even layer. Drizzle with soy sauce and rice vinegar. Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip in sections and crisp the other side. Remove from heat when both sides are golden.
- Gyoza Preheat 2 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Sauté frozen gyoza on medium heat for 2 minutes or until skin is lightly brown. Reduce heat to medium / low, add 5-6 tablespoons of water to pan and cover with a lid. Steam gyoza until no more water is visible.
- Gyoza Bowl In a bowl, layer crispy rice, gyoza, and fresh vegetables. Spoon over spring onion ginger sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.
