Ingredients
Scale
Rice
- 2 cups of rice
- 4 cups of water
Eggs
- 2 eggs
- Oil for frying (about 2-3 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Rinse Rice: Rinse 2 cups of rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Cook Rice: In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Simmer Rice: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
- Cool Rice: Remove the rice from heat and let it cool slightly to allow it to firm up for frying.
- Heat Oil: In a separate skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Whisk Eggs: Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly to blend yolks and whites.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are soft and fully scrambled.
- Add Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the scrambled eggs and spread the mixture out evenly across the skillet.
- Crisp First Side: Cook the rice and egg mixture without stirring for 5-7 minutes, allowing the bottom layer to become crispy and golden brown.
- Flip and Crisp Other Side: Carefully flip the crispy rice and egg mixture over in the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to crisp the other side.
- Serve: Remove the crispy rice with eggs from the skillet and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your crispy rice with fluffy scrambled eggs!
Notes
- Use day-old or cooled rice for better crispiness; freshly cooked rice can be too soft and sticky.
- Adjust the oil quantity depending on how crispy and rich you want the dish.
- You can add seasonings like salt, pepper, soy sauce, or scallions to enhance flavor.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding diced vegetables or cooked meats.
