Wow MsM, that's exactly what I do. Usually mine is with shrimp or chicken but who's keeping score!

My rice is usually from the day before so whatever flavourings I was using then.

the egg I do the same large pancake, but I roll it and slice it into thin slivers.

hmmm... thinking I have to go and make some rice!
