The Mauritian Magic Bowl: A Culinary Delight
The Mauritian Magic Bowl, also known as bol deviré or bol renversé, is a beloved dish from Mauritius. Its name, translating to "upside-down bowl," perfectly describes the dish's presentation style. This delightful meal is packed with fragrant vegetables, steaming noodles, and a fried egg, all of which are turned over at the table to reveal the egg on top. This recipe can also be made with rice instead of noodle.
Ingredients:
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
75ml white wine vinegar
9 garlic cloves, crushed (4 for garlic water)
1 tbsp chopped chives
2 tbsp cornflour
3 tbsp vegetable oil (plus extra for frying)
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
100g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
250g pak choi, sliced
4 spring onions, finely sliced
3 tbsp oyster sauce
4 tbsp light soy sauce
½ tsp ground white pepper
4 medium eggs
600g cooked fresh egg noodles, warmed
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Water
Place all garlic water ingredients into a lidded heatproof jar.
Add 150ml hot water (from a kettle just off the boil) and mix.
Cool, then refrigerate to infuse for at least 1 hour (or preferably overnight).
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables and Sauce
Put the corn flour in a small bowl, slowly mix in 300ml water, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok, then add the carrot, mushrooms, pak choi, and spring onions. Cook for a couple of minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the remaining garlic, stir for 30 seconds, then add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, 30ml water, and white pepper.
Stir in the corn flour mixture and cook until you have a glossy gravy and the vegetables are al dente.
Step 3: Fry the Eggs
Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the eggs one at a time, sunny side up, until the yolks are semi-soft. Baste regularly with oil to help set the yolks.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Get 4 bowls and place an egg, yolk-side down, at the bottom of each.
Add the vegetables, then top with the noodles. Press down firmly so everything is packed into the bowls.
At the table, place a plate on each bowl, then flip them over, removing the bowls to reveal the dish. Alternatively, you can place the fried eggs on top after turning out the dish if you prefer a runny yolk.
Serve with the garlic water to drizzle over.
Enjoy this flavorful and visually stunning dish that brings a touch of Mauritian magic to your dining table!
