Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1.5 cups water for cooking white rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for frying egg
  • 1 large egg
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional additional toppings e.g., vegetables, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame seeds, green onions, avocado

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Pot for cooking rice
  • Bowl for serving
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. While the rice is cooking, heat a pan over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  4. Crack the egg into a bowl, then pour it gently into the preheated pan. Cook the egg undisturbed for about 3 minutes until the white is set.
  5. Season the egg with salt and pepper. If desired, create crispy edges by tilting the pan and spooning hot oil over the egg edges.
  6. Once the rice is fully cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it in a bowl. Place the fried egg on top of the rice.
  7. Add any desired toppings like vegetables, sauces, or herbs.

Notes

Customize your rice bowl with vegetables or proteins you have on hand. Leftover rice works well for this recipe. For a vegetarian option, substitute the egg with a tofu scramble.
