Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup jasmine rice
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 bunch green onions / scallions
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes(optional)
Method
Cook the rice according to package directions and keep it hot.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high and fry the eggs until the whites are crisp and lacy at the edges and the yolks are still liquid.
Divide the hot rice between four bowls.
Set the eggs on top and add the soy sauce and sesame oil directly over the yolks.
Scatter sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and pepper flakes over.
Break the yolks and stir everything through the rice at the table, while it is hot enough to gloss the grains.
