Step 2
First, prepare the soy sauce seasoning. In a small bowl, combine 1.5 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of honey. If you don’t have honey, you can substitute it with 1 Tbsp of sugar. Mix these well to create a sweet and savory soy sauce mixture. The subtle sweetness of honey complements the rich flavor of butter beautifully.
Step 3
Preheat a frying pan over high heat for about 3 minutes, then add 1/2 Tbsp of cooking oil and fry the egg to your desired doneness. It’s best to fry the egg so the yolk is slightly runny. A semi-runny yolk will add a creamy and rich texture to the rice when mixed, enhancing the overall flavor.
Step 4
Place the warm rice into a serving bowl. Create a slight indentation in the center of the rice to make space for the butter. Using a slightly larger bowl will make it much easier to mix everything together later.
Step 5
Add the tablespoon of butter into the space you created in the center of the rice. The warmth of the rice will melt the butter, releasing its delicious aroma. Allowing the butter to melt properly ensures it mixes evenly with the rice for the best flavor.
Step 6
Now, carefully place the prepared fried egg on top of the rice. Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over it. Your delicious Butter Soy Sauce Egg Rice Bowl is complete! The crisp texture of the green onions and their fresh aroma cut through any richness, making it even more enjoyable.
Step 7
And there you have it – a simple yet nostalgic Butter Soy Sauce Egg Rice Bowl recipe! Using butter instead of sesame oil gives it a wonderfully rich and aromatic flavor. While it’s a delightful meal, it’s not recommended for frequent consumption due to nutritional balance. However, on days when you lack appetite or feel too lazy to cook, this recipe is perfect for a satisfying and delicious meal. Enjoy your meal! 🙂
