Simple Egg Dish, Egg Butter Soy Sauce Rice Bowl Recipe Perfect for Kids’ Lunch
Here’s a recipe for ‘Egg Butter Soy Sauce Rice Bowl’ that you can whip up with simple ingredients you likely have at home. It’s a fantastic lunch option for children, and we’ve added a touch of chili pepper for a slightly spicy kick that cuts through the richness, resulting in a wonderfully tender and flavorful dish. Using an air fryer makes it even easier. The harmonious blend of soft egg, creamy butter, and savory soy sauce is truly delightful. Topped with a fried egg, it resembles a rice bowl, making it a satisfying and complete meal.
Essential Ingredients- 2 Eggs
- 1 bowl of warm rice
- 1 Korean chili pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 1 piece of butter (approx. 10g)
- A little olive oil (for greasing the dish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the Air Fryer Dish: Lightly grease the inside of an air fryer-safe bowl with olive oil using a paper towel. This prevents the egg from sticking after cooking, making cleanup much easier.
Step 2
2. Add Rice and Butter: Spread the warm rice evenly in the greased bowl. Place the piece of butter on top of the rice. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of the rice to create a slight indentation, large enough to hold the egg yolk. Flattening the rice slightly helps prevent the egg from running off.
Step 3
3. Add Egg Whites First: Carefully pour the egg whites from both eggs over the outer edges of the rice, avoiding the center indentation. This allows the whites to spread out, creating a more aesthetically pleasing dish and contributing to a tender texture when cooked with the yolk.
Step 4
4. Air Fry and Additional Tips: Place the prepared bowl in the air fryer and cook at approximately 180°C (350°F) for about 8 minutes. (Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer’s model.) If the egg whites are still a bit undercooked, continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until they reach your desired doneness. For an enhanced meal, consider adding sliced tomatoes or other favorite vegetables to cook alongside the rice. For children, omit the Korean chili pepper. After cooking, a drizzle of soy sauce will create a delicious soy sauce egg rice bowl that kids will love.
Step 5
5. Finishing and Serving: Carefully remove the bowl from the air fryer once cooked. Top the rice with the perfectly cooked fried egg to complete the dish. For extra flavor, you can add a little soy sauce or sesame oil before mixing and enjoying.
