Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil: In a large pan, warm the sesame oil over medium heat, allowing it to coat the bottom evenly for cooking the eggs.
- Cook eggs: Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes, ensuring the texture is soft and rich.
- Prepare rice: In a bowl, place the cooked white rice and drizzle with soy sauce. Toss gently to evenly distribute the soy sauce for added flavor throughout the rice.
- Assemble dish: Once the eggs are cooked, place them on top of the seasoned rice in the bowl.
- Garnish and season: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Serve: Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the warmth and blend of comforting flavors.
Notes
- For a runnier yolk, cook the eggs for less time; for firmer yolks, cook longer.
- This dish is highly customizable – try adding kimchi or a dash of gochujang for extra spice.
- Use short-grain rice for a more authentic sticky texture.
- You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Garnish with toasted seaweed strips for additional texture and flavor.
