Ingredients For Breakfast Rice from Japan Recipes
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
Instructions: Breakfast Rice from Japan Recipes
Step 1: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread rice in a flat layer in hot oil; cook until crispy on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2: Stir egg into rice until scrambled, about 2 minutes more. Sprinkle green onions on top and season with soy sauce.
I've made this many times and consider it to be an excellent cure for hangovers (don't judge). I prefer to cook the eggs slightly over-easy and then break the yoke on top of the rice. The green onions and soy sauce take it to the next level.
Mixed in some diced onion, red pepper and garlic - that was fried in toasted sesame oil - to the rice&egg mixture. Stirred in soy sauce with a little Sriracha - Yummm. Next time maybe I'll add in some seasoned rice vinegar to either the onion/pepper mix, or at the end.
An excellent, easy fried rice recipe for those of us that are indecisive or picky. Most people like rice, eggs, onions. You can't go wrong. So simple yet surprisingly tasty and irresistible. Just the right amount of salt without being greasy or heavy. Would make again.
Awesome
I loved this. I am gluten free so I started eating more rice. This is simple, easy and quick for lunch or breakfast.
Didn't have any green onion, but still tasted great with salt, pepper, and a splash of soy sauce. I prefer brown over white rice so i used brown rice instead and it turned out good.
Simple, quick, and delicious! I am enjoying it right now in my favorite rice bowl with chopsticks. The snipped scallions add just the right note.I added 1/3 cup of frozen peas in order to have veg or fruit in each meal, and also to increase the protein.( I didn’t add crumbled nori or Furikake , but I think it might be nice.)
I almost always use short-grain sushi rice - i like my rice salty and sticky. As an easy meal, I cook sesame oil and an egg in the same pot as the sushi rice (yes, I have a rice cooker) and put it into a chawan bowl. Because I still can't stand the texture of/master TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan) even though raw eggs never made me sick. My favorite toppings are Norigoma/Tarako Furikake (rice sprinkles), butter, and Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Very tasty and easy to make. I add left over cooked bacon crumbles to this for a nice change.
I use everything bagel seasoning instead of soy sauce, and sometimes chives. Such an easy, filling and inexpensive meal. Love it!
I grew up eating this all the time in Southeast USA. Rice is a staple in many cultures. I saved my rice from hot pot and made this and it was as yummy as remembered.
Very easy and tastes so good
Simple and delicious comfort food. Thank you for sharing
Such a simple recipe so much that I am thinking I should just keep some cooked rice on hand to whip this up for a quick breakfast or lunch. Add any variety of ingredients.
I made this with leftover black rice and it was the perfect breakfast!
This is my go-to breakfast when I have leftover rice, and I have made this for decades. However, the only difference is that I use Maggi Seasoning instead of soy sauce.
I would use soy sauce instead of s'arracha
Super easy and yummy great way to start the day and a great way to use up leftover rice!
I loved it i 10 out of 10 reccomend it,it is quick easy and delicious
I didn't use all the exact ingredients (just one replaced)but it still came out really good. Thank you for the recepie.
I was looking for such a breakfast all my life, no exaggeration! Thank you!
Loved it! What a great new way to eat eggs and get an energy boost to get me through my day
Tasted so delicious! Nice morning meal.
I made this for my boyfriend with some leftover lemon pepper chicken we had and he loved it thank you so much
Threw a dash of sesame oil in there and topped with sesame seeds. Was delicious!!
So easy and yummy! I used mainly sesame oil in the pan. Delicious!
I have been making a version of this rice for a few years and its just a simple easy delicious breakfast. Letting the rice get a tad crispy is better than frying the eggs first as I was making until I discovered this recipe. I sometimes add chopped ham or bacon to make it more heartier.
i made it for dinner adding mushrooms and left over steak sliced thin and a dash of franks hotsauce. awesome thank you.
Drizzled some sesame oil in whilst it was cooking - tasted fantastic
Easy and versatile. I had no green onions or soy sauce. So I chopped some sweet onion and added it to the chilled rice. After looking for some soy sauce, I decided to just try it plain and it was still very good.
Sometimes you need a ridiculously easy recipe to convince you to try... this recipe was that for me. Skipped the green onions because I didn't have any on hand, and used 2 eggs to increase the protein. Didn't even bother to measure the rice. Easy, delicious, repeatable. When I make rice for another purpose, i may start always making extra just so I can make this again! Ha!
fresh and simple! yum!
Great breakfast. My group like to add bacon or sausage, vegetables and heavier on the eggs. Cold rice is better.
Great quick breakfast meal. A good option when gave a few minutes in the morning and you don't feel like eating something super sweet.
I love it. I just added fried rice to it. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
A nice way to use up leftover rice, quick and easy too. This has a very mild flavor, a pretty nice way to start the day.
I am the submitter. Make sure your rice is cold - leftover from evening before kept in frig is perfect.
