Making a Delicious Fried Egg in Your Rice Cooker
You can make endless delicious fried eggs with just a rice cooker! This method is surprisingly easy and yields wonderfully tender results.
Ingredients- 1/2 Tbsp cooking oil or sesame oil
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- A little dried parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil or sesame oil onto the bottom of your rice cooker. Using a soft spatula (like a silicone one that won’t scratch the non-stick coating), spread the oil evenly across the entire bottom surface of the rice cooker pot. This crucial step prevents the egg from sticking.
Step 2
Carefully crack 2 fresh eggs directly into the oiled rice cooker pot. You can adjust the number of eggs to one or three, depending on your preference. Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly over the eggs to enhance their natural flavor. If you enjoy a bit more saltiness, feel free to add a little extra.
Step 3
Now, utilize your rice cooker’s ‘Cake’ or ‘Bake’ function. For a fully cooked, firm fried egg (hard-cooked), set the timer for 15 minutes. If you prefer a softer, runnier yolk (soft-cooked), reduce the cooking time to 12 minutes. Note that cooking times may vary slightly depending on your specific rice cooker model, so it’s a good idea to check for doneness towards the end.
Step 4
Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully open the rice cooker and gently remove the perfectly cooked fried egg. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle a little dried parsley flakes over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, hassle-free fried egg!
