- $10.29
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cup jasmine rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/8 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 bunch green onions / scallions
- 1/2 tsp salt
Method
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it according to package directions and keep it covered.
Beat the eggs with the soy sauce, sugar, and salt until completely uniform, then strain out any stringy bits for a smooth omelet.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low and wipe it with oil.
Pour in a thin layer of egg. When it is just set on top, roll it to one side of the pan with a spatula.
Oil the empty part of the pan, pour in another thin layer, lift the roll so the raw egg runs underneath, and roll again. Repeat until the egg is used up.
Slide the roll out, rest 2 minutes, then cut into thick slices and serve over rice with sliced scallions.
