cooked rice (preferably day-old)

Directions

I start by heating oil or butter in a pan over medium-high heat.

I add the cooked rice and press it down slightly, letting it cook undisturbed until the bottom becomes crispy and golden.

I flip or stir parts of the rice to crisp more evenly, then season with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.

In another pan, I fry the eggs to my preferred doneness.

I assemble the bowl by placing the crispy rice as the base, then topping it with fried eggs and sliced avocado.

I finish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Variations

I sometimes add sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. When I want more protein, I include grilled chicken or tofu. I also like adding chili oil or hot sauce for extra heat.

storage/reheating

I store leftover rice separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, I crisp it again in a pan for the best texture. I prefer cooking fresh eggs when serving.
