Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Cooked Rice
  • 1 Pastured Egg
  • ½ tbsp Butter
  • 1 Green Onion
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • 1 Frying Pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Paring Knife
  • 1 Wooden Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Rice Preparation:
    Reheat the rice or make fresh jasmine rice. Follow this rice recipe for the best fluffy rice.
    Serve on a plate before preparing the eggs.
    For quick fried rice, reheat the cold rice and add soy sauce and sesame oil.
    Serve with chopped green onions.
  2. Preheat a frying pan on medium-low heat.
  3. Keep it on medium-low heat, add the butter, allow it to melt, and crackle slightly. The butter will brown slightly, which is delicious. It gives it a slight caramelized flavor.
  4. Cook the egg for 2 minutes, until the white is slightly opaque. Tip: Do not touch the egg until you’re ready to flip.
  5. Flip the egg using a spatula, place the spatula at the center of the egg, one egg at a time, and flip.
  6. Then cook for two minutes on the other side.
    Eggs are best immediately after cooking.

Notes

Top Tips

  • A great classic fried egg is either over-easy or medium, depending on your preference. An over-medium egg is runny, with a well-cooked white. An over-easy egg, only slightly cooked on both sides, may have a slightly soft white. Over-medium is perfect!
  • Preheat the pan before cooking the egg to prevent sticking to the pan.
  • Use a pan that doesn’t stick—stainless steel pans are great for this! The trick is to preheat the pan before adding the butter and cooking the egg.
