This classic Japanese breakfast transforms leftover white or brown rice into a savoury, crispy dish. By frying the rice until golden and then scrambling an egg directly into it, you create a hearty and flavourful base. Finished with sliced green onions and a seasoning of soy sauce, it's a simple yet deeply satisfying way to start the day. The entire process takes just 15 minutes, making it an ideal quick and filling morning meal for one.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup cold cooked rice, or more to taste
1 egg, or more to taste
2 green onions, sliced, or more to taste
2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste

Method

Place a large skillet over the heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, arrange the cold cooked rice in an even layer and fry until the underside becomes crispy, which should take 2 to 3 minutes.
Crack the egg directly into the rice and stir continuously until it is fully scrambled, cooking for about 2 minutes more. Finish by scattering the sliced green onions over the top and drizzling with soy sauce to taste.
