Ingredients- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 bowl of cooked rice
- 4 Tbsp ketchup (adjust to taste)
- 5 Tbsp shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar)
- A pinch of salt (to enhance egg flavor)
- 1 Tbsp milk or heavy cream (for softer eggs)
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 2 fresh eggs into a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt to help season the eggs and reduce any eggy smell.
Step 2
Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs vigorously until the yolks and whites are well combined and look uniform. Ensure there are no streaks of white left.
Step 3
Now, for extra tenderness, stir in 1 tablespoon of milk or heavy cream. Mix gently until just combined. This will make your scrambled eggs extra creamy!
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Let the pan warm up evenly – you don’t want it too hot, or the eggs will cook too quickly.
Step 5
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the warmed pan. Using a spatula or chopsticks, gently stir and fold the eggs in a circular motion, creating soft, fluffy curds. Cook until they are just set but still moist.
Step 6
Set the perfectly cooked scrambled eggs aside. Don’t worry if they aren’t picture-perfect; they’ll taste delicious no matter what! 😊
Step 7
Place a bowl of warm cooked rice on your plate. Top the rice generously with the fluffy scrambled eggs and a good amount of ketchup.
Step 8
Now, get ready to mix! Use your chopsticks or spoon to thoroughly combine the rice, eggs, and ketchup. Ensure every grain of rice is coated with the tangy sauce.
Step 9
Sprinkle about 5 tablespoons of shredded cheese evenly over the mixed rice. The cheese will melt beautifully, adding a wonderful gooey texture and flavor.
Step 10
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. This will ensure everything is heated through and the cheese is perfectly melted.
Step 11
Enjoy your Ketchup Egg and Cheese Rice while it’s warm and the cheese is delightfully gooey! We hope you love this nostalgic and tasty dish. See you next time! Bye~~~~
