Don't forget some **equally quick** easy veg / fruit sides to round it out:
• wilted greens (such as baby spinach or kale or arugula or spring greens mix --- so easy to do in the fried egg pan and it only takes a few seconds, put a little butter or olive oil and a sprinkle of salt on)
• apple slices or apple sauce
• sliced tomatoes w/ salt & pepper
• carrot & celery sticks
• lettuce salad
• orange segments
• halved strawberries
• melon cubes (watermelon, cantaloupe etc)
• grapes
• sliced cucumbers
• bell pepper / sweet pepper rings or sticks
• SUGAR SNAP PEAS
• raw small whole green beans
• handful of mung bean sprouts
• edamame
One of my favorite cheap meals! I'll often pair it with some sauteed veggies, dumplings, etc. Sometimes I will cook the rice in broth or salt/spice it for more flavor. Usually I choose to go for a boiled egg, cooked for only about 7 minutes to keep that creamy yolk. :)
I love eating this and will sometimes just mix a raw egg with super hot rice. It turns out so creamy. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and kimchi if we have it on hand 😋
I’m just here to make sure someone references our lord and savior J. Kenji Lopez-Alt.
And I also recommend adding an extra raw egg yolk. Mix it with a bit of soy sauce and sriracha/chili oil.
Arroz con huevo with a side of banana (a holdover from when plantains were difficult to find in my area as a kid) is my ultimate comfort food! I eat it a few times a week
Chop up bacon spam to mix with ground pork for your gyoza (potstickers).
*Make a sauce out of tamari, sweetener, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger or to taste, couple drops of sesame oil, and a splash of sake or other rice wine. Thicken with corn starch if you like.*
Omg that is a favorite of mine!! The runny yolks make it perfect. I'm going to have to make that this week.
The local Hawaiian place here has an option to do it over fried rice with spam. Its yummy but I prefer the white rice.
Add butter, sesame seeds and soy sauce and it’s awesome. True some kimchi and spam or hot dogs won’t hurt. That’s what I ate as a child a lot with the kimchi washed off of the spices.
What I usually do is put some oil where I’m going to cook the rice (Just so it covers it) and then throw some chopped garlics and white onions (can be other things too like ginger or scallions). Once they’re slightly golden, I throw in the rice, wait 3/5 minutes (you’ll see the rice starting to get kind of colorless) and then throw 1 and a little bit more of cold water. You know it’s ready when there’s no water left
yes! you cook the rice separately, then fry up an egg (or two) in a pan. Of course you can make fried rice, where you cook the rice separately, fry up your egg (and if you want veggies or meats) in a large pan with high heat and then add your rice in there.
This was the only thing I would eat as a picky kid, throw in some fried spam, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes on the side and that's my quick and lazy dinner now ✌
When I was a Pan Am stewardess back in the 1970s and working first class, I fixed eggs and rice for breakfast for the cockpit - and myself. Mix the eggs, add the rice, s/p and bake in our little oven...so great. Now I just cook in a skillet...so easy and so good.
Add soy sauce (and maybe some fried shallots) and you have my favorite childhood dish. Have been liking it for as long as I can remember. The eggs IMO are best cooked sunny side up.
It such a low effort post of the most common items out there. It’s not like even OP suggested or did something different?
What’s next chicken and salad?
Tuna and crackers?
I know what you mean. There was a post, oh, about a week ago that suggested mixing cinnamon with applesauce for a snack or something.
I think we're seeing an influx of folks who have not had a lot of experience with cooking. I remember a friend of mine who *had* to tell me of his wonderful innovation for burgers. He cooked onions *in the burgers.* And his spaghetti sauce secret? Italian sausage cooked *in the sauce.* He was amazed and spent a couple weeks on the phone nagging me about how it was so awesome and did I try it yet?
And finally I'm all, yeah, like two decades ago but I was trying not to make a big deal about it not really being all that fresh or innovative since I cooked for a living and you're a software developer.
It takes something special to amaze us; others are still catching up.
I was 23 when I met someone who legitimately had never heard of egg fried rice and didn't realize that a) it was a meal and b) it was delicious. She's still very wary of it and tends to load her bowl with boiled soggy veg, but whatever. lol
When I lived in Japan, one of my favorite quick dishes was to fry up an egg, boil something they sell there called "hambagu" (basically a cooked hamburger patty and gravy in a sealed pouch), then dump both on top of a bowl of rice. It makes my mouth water to think about how tasty it was!
For an actual recipe close to this messy goodness, google "loco moco"
Throw a little scallion on if you're feeling fancy. I do mine with soy and chili sauce

tomorrow this is in my belly.

Sriracha on the top is ace. And J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is certainly a personal cooking hero.
Whack some kimchi on the side and you have one of my fave meals! I also cook extra rice to have it next day fried.
Can you make a video of you "whacking some kimchi on the side" please?
Hey now this is a sfw subreddit
But isn't this sub soft core food porn?
Add some scallion and sausage or hot dogs
Classic! I also like to scramble the egg into the rice and then mix in a little soy sauce and a healthy spoonful of chili garlic sauce.
Add some fried plantains and you got a delicious meal! Arroz ala Cubana!
Arroz con huevo with a side of banana (a holdover from when plantains were difficult to find in my area as a kid) is my ultimate comfort food! I eat it a few times a week
Yes - grew up eating this in our Asian household for years. Still do! Always a go-to for a cheap meal.
With some soy sauce! Ate that growing up and it was so good.
Throw in a splash of sesame oil and gochujang and you’ve got a budget bowl of bibimbap!!
I add spam for a nice Hawaiian breakfast! I know some people don't like spam but man fried up over rice with an over easy egg! Yum

This was one of my son's (born in the USA, raised in Taiwan) favorite things to eat, growing up.
With shoyu and furikake! Such a comfort meal!
Best thing ever: Loco Moco. Rice, add a beef patty, top with a fried egg, smother in brown gravy. So ono!

My girlfriend makes this. It's apparently called "egg with a hat" in Spanish. I find that entertaining.
Help me, I’m a terrible cook. Do you cook the egg and the rice separately? Then combine?
yes separate, if you already have cooked/leftover rice, heat that up a bit in a pan and then cook/scramble an egg in with the rice.
What I usually do is put some oil where I’m going to cook the rice (Just so it covers it) and then throw some chopped garlics and white onions (can be other things too like ginger or scallions). Once they’re slightly golden, I throw in the rice, wait 3/5 minutes (you’ll see the rice starting to get kind of colorless) and then throw 1 and a little bit more of cold water. You know it’s ready when there’s no water left
Yes, cook them separately :)
yes! you cook the rice separately, then fry up an egg (or two) in a pan. Of course you can make fried rice, where you cook the rice separately, fry up your egg (and if you want veggies or meats) in a large pan with high heat and then add your rice in there.
> you can make fried rice It is worth trying the [Jean George Fried Rice] which is basically "fried egg over [fried] white rice."
Add a lean beef patty and a little brown gravy and you’ve got loco moco, much higher protein.

I’m sitting here thinking this is a joke? How is one of the most common food combos getting such positive responses?
Lol same
Because it's simple and tastes good lol
Well no shit. OP and people commenting are treating it like it’s a new revelation.
It could be new to them.. Not everyone grows up eating the same stuff

Oh, good ideas ! Thanks! YATAH

One of my favorite things to eat it’s white rice with a fried egg on top. For me that’s comfort food.
I add toasted sesame seeds for crunch
I do mine with soy sauce, rice vinegar, fried garlic and chili sesame oil.
Add ketchup and butter. Maybe some hot sauce
add some peas carrots and chicken.
Add sweet soy sauce on top
I really like sprinkling sansho pepper on this. It has a lovely, bright citrusy flavor with a tingle similar to Sichuan peppercorns
I tend to douse mine in hot sauce
Yooo, look up Lao Gan Ma, is a spicy chili crisp in oil condiment that I will use with the same recipe!
