Green Onion Egg Fried Rice for One: Drizzle Soy Sauce Evenly Over the Rice

Before cooking for one

Start with an ingredient you already have, then check the recipe's full ingredient list, quantities and equipment before choosing your meal. For a solo meal, use its one-serving quantities.

Pat the washed green onion dry and cut it into 0.5 cm-wide pieces. Beat the egg until the white and yolk are evenly combined. Warm one 210 g pack of rice according to the package instructions and have it ready. It is easier to prepare it beforehand than to spend a long time pressing and breaking up cold rice in the pan.

1 serving ingredients

• Rice: 1 pack (210 g per whole pack)
• Egg: 2 eggs
• Green onion: 1/4 stalk
• Soy sauce: 1/2 household eating spoon
• Cooking oil: 1 household eating spoon

The amounts are based on the 1 serving ingredient list in the app. A household eating spoon and a pinch are everyday measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity in parentheses as well.

Instructions

• Step 1. Wash the green onion, pat it dry, and cut it into 0.5 cm-wide pieces. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat until the white and yolk are evenly combined.
• Step 2. Add the cooking oil and green onion to a pan and sauté over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Once fragrant, push the green onion to one side, pour in the beaten egg, and cook while stirring for 2 minutes.
• Step 3. Add the rice warmed according to the package instructions. Break up any lumps with the tip of a spatula and stir-fry over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Step 4. Drizzle the soy sauce evenly over the rice and mix it in right away. Stir-fry for another 1 minute. Once the rice is hot throughout, turn off the heat and serve.

Order for adding the egg and rice

Sauté the green onion over medium-low heat, push it to one side, then pour in the beaten egg and cook while stirring. Next, add the rice and break up any lumps with the tip of a spatula. This is different from pouring beaten egg over uncooked rice and mixing it in right away. Check that no uncooked egg or cold rice is left in the corners of the pan.

One final seasoning check

Drizzle the soy sauce over several spots on the rice and mix it in right away so one area does not become too salty. Once the rice is hot throughout, transfer it to a plate. This recipe is a good way to learn the basic process without any extra toppings. If serving it with kimchi or a salty side dish, taste them together before adding extra soy sauce to the fried rice.
