Bol Renversé
Mauritian rice bowl with chicken, vegetables, egg and optional shrimp and Chinese sausage.

About Bol Renversé
Papounet’s Mauritian bol renversé layers basmati rice, chicken and vegetables beneath a fried egg. This version chooses pak choi, shiitake mushrooms and sesame oil, with shrimp and Chinese sausages as optional additions.
Soy and oyster sauces give the filling savoury depth. Garlic, onion, ginger and pepper season the chicken and vegetables, while tapioca starch binds their sauce.
The rice forms a compact mound after the bowl is inverted onto a plate. The vegetables retain some crunch, and optional green onion stalks finish the egg-topped presentation.
