Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup cooked short or medium grain rice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Garnish

  • 1 stalk green onion, minced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Seaweed snack, as desired
  • Kimchi, to serve

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Warm the cooked short or medium grain rice until hot and fluffy, either by microwaving or steaming gently to ensure it is ready to combine with the eggs.
  2. Cook the Eggs: In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them gently, either scrambling softly or frying sunny side up to your preference, allowing the yolks to remain slightly runny if desired for mixing with rice.
  3. Combine Eggs and Rice: Add the warmed rice to the skillet with the eggs. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, then gently stir or fold everything together to coat evenly without breaking the rice or eggs too much.
  4. Garnish the Dish: Transfer the egg and rice mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the minced green onion and toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve alongside seaweed snacks and kimchi for an authentic Korean flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked rice or well-reheated rice for the best texture.
  • Adjust the soy sauce amount to suit your salt preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with oil or omit it.
  • The eggs can be cooked scrambled or fried based on personal taste.
  • Kimchi adds a spicy, tangy contrast; it is optional but recommended for authenticity.
