Instructions
- 1
Put the hot rice in a wide bowl so it is easy to mix.
- 2
Heat the cooking oil in a small skillet and fry the egg until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
- 3
Slide the egg onto the rice. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, then mix well. Finish with green onion or sesame seeds if using.
Ingredient substitutions
- Rice
- Medium-grain rice works well. Long-grain rice is usable but gives a drier, looser texture.
- Egg
- For binding, use a commercial egg replacer or a small starch slurry; the flavor and texture will change.
- Soy sauce
- Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
- Toasted sesame oil
- Perilla oil is different but works in some Korean dishes.
- Cooking oil
- Any neutral frying oil works.
