Ingredients
Scale
Rice
- 2 cups of rice
- 4 cups of water
Eggs
- 2 eggs
Other
- Oil for frying (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice: Rinse 2 cups of rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Simmer the rice: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Cool the rice: Remove the rice from the heat and let it cool slightly to make it easier to handle and to prevent clumping during frying.
- Heat oil: In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering and ready for cooking.
- Prepare eggs: Crack the two eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly until well combined.
- Cook scrambled eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through.
- Add rice to eggs: Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the scrambled eggs and spread the mixture out evenly in the skillet to create a flat layer.
- Crisp the bottom layer: Cook the rice and eggs undisturbed for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, allowing the underside to form a golden crispy crust.
- Flip and crisp the other side: Carefully use a spatula to flip the entire crispy rice and egg mixture to the other side, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes to crisp this side as well.
- Serve: Remove the crispy rice with eggs from the skillet and serve hot. Enjoy this flavorful and comforting dish immediately.
Notes
- Use day-old or cooled rice for better crisping and less sticking.
- Adjust the oil quantity based on your preference for crispiness.
- Season with salt and pepper or add herbs for additional flavor if desired.
- Be careful when flipping to keep the crispy layer intact.
- This dish can be customized by adding vegetables or soy sauce as toppings or mix-ins.
