Key Ingredients for Onion Egg Over Rice- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1/2 green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce (or fish sauce)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup water (200ml)
- Cooking oil (generous amount)
- Salt (pinch)
- Pepper (pinch)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, a pinch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the onion. Finely chop the green onion, removing the root end. Preparing your ingredients beforehand will make the cooking process much faster.
Step 2
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper. Gently whisk the eggs with chopsticks or a whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined. You don’t need to whisk vigorously.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt; this helps bring out their natural sweetness. Sauté the onions until they become translucent and turn a nice golden-brown color. This step maximizes the onions’ sweet and savory aroma.
Step 4
Once the onions are nicely sautéed, carefully pour in 1 cup of water. Then, add 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce, and the chopped green onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together. Using anchovy sauce adds a wonderful depth of umami.
Step 5
When the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the pan. As the eggs start to set, avoid stirring them with chopsticks. Instead, let them cook undisturbed or gently swirl the pan. Cook until they form soft, fluffy curds, similar to a soft scramble. This gentle cooking method is key for a delicate texture.
Step 6
Place the warm cooked rice attractively in a serving bowl. Generously spoon the freshly cooked, soft onion and egg mixture over the rice. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds on top for both visual appeal and a nutty finish. Your super simple Onion Egg Over Rice is now ready!
Step 7
Enjoy a satisfying and delicious meal with this quickly prepared Onion Egg Over Rice. You’ll be delighted by how much flavor can be achieved with such simple ingredients!
