Simple Rice Cooker Fried Eggs
Easy Fried Eggs Made in a Rice Cooker
Enjoy perfectly fried eggs using just your rice cooker! This method is ideal for beginners, minimizing cleanup and ensuring a wonderfully tender result. The ‘reheat’ function in your rice cooker makes it incredibly easy to achieve a fluffy, moist fried egg.
Key Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the bottom of your rice cooker pot and spread it evenly to coat the surface. This step is crucial to prevent the eggs from sticking and ensures a smooth, tender cook.
Step 2
Carefully crack 2 large eggs directly into the oiled rice cooker pot. Try to keep the yolks intact for the best visual appeal and texture.
Step 3
Select the ‘Reheat’ function on your rice cooker and let it run for approximately 7 minutes. You can open the rice cooker lid during this cycle to check the doneness of the eggs. If they need a little more cooking, simply close the lid and let them cook for a few extra minutes until they reach your desired consistency. (Tip: The ‘Reheat’ function allows you to check progress without interrupting the cycle entirely.)
Step 4
After about 7 minutes, open the rice cooker to reveal your beautifully cooked fried eggs! Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to taste. For an extra nutritional boost and a lovely textural contrast, consider sprinkling some toasted flax seeds or chia seeds over the top before serving. They add a wonderful nutty flavor and healthy fats.
Step 5
Pro Tip: If you prefer your fried eggs slightly firmer or with crispier edges, you can extend the ‘Reheat’ cycle to 9 minutes. However, the 7-minute mark typically yields the most tender and moist results.
