Directions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl. ≈ 3 min
  2. Add the sake, sugar, and salt, and mix just enough to create a smooth and even mixture, without creating foam. If there are any bubbles, let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix the cornstarch with cold water and then add it to the eggs. ≈ 4 min
  4. Heat a frying pan over medium heat (and add oil if it’s not non-stick).
  5. Pour each batch, pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of egg into the pan at once, and rotate the pan to create a thin, even layer.
  6. When the edges start to brown, remove the frying pan from the heat and let it cook for another 30 seconds in the residual heat.
  7. Flip the leaves and place the frying pan back on the heat for another 30 seconds. Let it cool. Repeat with the remaining leaves; the leaves will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
  8. Shape the rice into oval balls, place one in the center of each leaf, and fold the edges to enclose it. ≈ 10 min
