Toasted Black Wheat with Sesame & Eggs

Method

1. In a saucepan for which you have a lid, toast the black wheat grains in the butter and sesame oil until it smells very fragrant and some of the grains are popping.
2. Stir through a splash of soy sauce (it will sizzle), then add the water and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer, cover with the lid, and leave on a low heat until the grains are cooked through (an hour to an hour and a half).
3. When grains are ready, place the green vegetables on top and cover again with the lid to steam the veg in the same pot. When cooked to your liking, remove and set aside. Check the liquid level left in the pot: you want it almost entirely reduced (still saucy, but not soupy) so whack the heat up to evaporate excess if needed.
4. When everything’s ready, fry the eggs.
5. Portion out the saucy grains and veg between bowls, then a fried egg each. Top with the sesame seeds, sliced spring onions, seaweed flakes, and hot sauce to taste.
