Recipe: How to Make Rice And Eggs?
Follow to directions below to learn the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rice
- 2 cups of water
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- Optional: finely chopped spring onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Rice: Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step is crucial for removing excess starch and preventing a sticky end product. After rinsing, add the rice to a medium-sized pot, pour in the two cups of water, and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is completely absorbed and the rice is tender. Once done, remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered, for about 5 minutes.
- Fry the Eggs: It’s time to prepare your eggs while the rice is cooking. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolk and white are well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your preference. In a non-stick pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the eggs and gently stir until they are softly scrambled. You may cook them longer if you prefer your scrambled eggs well done.
- Combine and Serve: Lastly, combine the cooked rice and scrambled eggs. You can do this in the pan or a separate serving dish. Mix gently until the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the rice. For a final touch of color and freshness, garnish with some finely chopped spring onions, if desired.
There you have it – a simple, satisfying, and easy-to-make dish that combines the humble yet deliciously paired rice and eggs. Whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned home chef, this recipe will surely become a staple in your repertoire. Bon appétit!
