Essential Ingredients- 1 bowl of warm rice (approx. 200g)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 10g unsalted butter (approx. 1/2 Tbsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the 3 eggs into a prepared bowl. Remove the chalaza (the white stringy bits) and gently beat them with a fork or chopsticks until the yolks and whites are just combined. Avoid over-beating; a light mix will result in a softer egg texture.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, then add the 10g of butter. Allow the butter to melt, being careful not to burn it. Once melted, swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 3
Before making the scrambled eggs, place 1 bowl of warm rice into your serving bowl, arranging it nicely. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of soy sauce evenly over the rice. If you don’t have seasoned soy sauce (mat-ganjang), regular dark soy sauce or light soy sauce will work perfectly. For extra flavor, you can add a little sesame oil or black pepper at this stage.
Step 4
Next, place the slice of cheddar cheese evenly over the soy sauce-seasoned rice. You can use a mix of different cheeses if you like, but sliced cheddar melts beautifully and adds a mild, savory creaminess. If you prefer a stringier texture, feel free to use shredded mozzarella or pizza cheese.
Step 5
Pour the beaten eggs into the buttered pan. Keep the heat on low. Cook the eggs, gently stirring to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
As the edges of the egg mixture begin to set, use two chopsticks to gently push the cooked egg towards the center, creating a swirling motion. The goal here is not to make fluffy scrambled eggs, but rather a soft, thin omelet-like layer. Continue to gently stir and fold the eggs until they are just cooked through and have a delicate, custard-like consistency.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the cooked soft egg layer onto the rice topped with cheese. The residual heat from the egg will begin to gently melt the cheese underneath.
Step 8
Your delicious Cheesy Egg Rice Bowl is now complete! Before eating, mix everything together with your spoon – the rice, the soft egg, and the melted cheese. Enjoy the rich savory flavor and creamy texture that fills your mouth with every bite. It’s a satisfying and delightful meal!
