Egg & Rice
Lets start with a collection of my favorite recipes.
Egg Rice
Pan fried eggs over rice. A dish that my grandma used to make it for me all the time when I was a kid. A very simple dish that will always be my number one comfort food. Think of it as a very simple soy based risotto if you will. The rich and creamy egg yolks adds great body and aroma to the jasmine rice while the crispy of the egg whites gives a wonderful texture.
Ingredients
Fresh Eggs
Steamed Rice(jasmine)
Soy sauce
Though the list of ingredients is rather simple, preparing a perfect bowl of egg rice can be tricky. How well you cook the eggs will make or break the dish. What you want is for the eggs to be nice and crispy while maintaining a raw yolk.
1. Heat pan till smoking hot then add enough oil to coat bottom of the pan.
2. Add eggs and cover with lid for about 45 seconds. You should be able to see and hear the eggs splatter if your oil was hot enough.
3. Remove the lid and check the eggs. If things went well, the eggs should be nice and crispy on the edges. The egg whites should also be thoroughly cooked(white in color and not translucent)
while the yolk is still raw.
4. Quickly remove the eggs with a spatula and serve them over a bowl of hot steamed rice.
5. Drizzle with your favorite brand of soy sauce.
6. Right before eating use a spoon to break the yolks and mix it into the rice.

i've always been afraid to fry anything with a lot of oil.. you've inspired me to use oil more liberally
=P
Great-grandma is the best! My mum still makes this occasionally because this is GOOD food! But it's never quite like the way Great-Grandma makes it. I am her "flea", by the way.
