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 the sesame oil: In a large pan, warm the sesame oil over medium heat to prepare for frying the eggs.
- Cook the eggs: Crack the eggs into the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, allowing for a rich and creamy texture.
- Prepare the rice: Place the cooked white rice in a bowl, drizzle evenly with soy sauce, then toss gently to combine the flavors throughout the rice.
- Assemble the dish: Transfer the soy sauce-seasoned rice to serving bowls, gently place the cooked eggs on top of the rice, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the comforting simplicity and harmony of flavors in this traditional Korean dish.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use brown rice or mixed grain rice instead of white rice.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity based on your preferred saltiness level.
- If you prefer firmer egg yolks, cook the eggs a little longer to your desired doneness.
- This dish pairs well with kimchi and other Korean side dishes for a complete meal.
- Use a non-stick pan for easier egg cooking and cleanup.
