Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rice steamed or day-old
  • 1 large egg sunny-side-up
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce for seasoning the rice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon green onions for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon kimchi optional, for serving

Equipment

  • Pan For frying the egg
  • Spatula For stirring the eggs

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice until warm. If using leftover rice, warm it up in the microwave or on the stove with a little water.
  2. In a pan, heat a little oil and crack the egg in. Cook it sunny-side-up until the whites are set, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the warm rice, stirring to coat evenly.
  4. Spoon the rice into a bowl, and top with the fried egg. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and a side of kimchi if desired.

Notes

  • Add avocado or roasted vegetables for extra texture.
  • For a spicy kick, add chili flakes or sriracha sauce.
  • Use brown rice for a more nutritious base.
