Bruh, I cant make shit.
I guess just cook rice (using a rice cooker obviously, idk how they cook it before rice cookers, I never tried the old methods) and fry some eggs... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I suck at "being an adult"
I cooked rice in a pot for decades before my kids got me a rice cooker. It's not much more complicated, and is quicker. Put rice in a pot, rinse it, cover with water by about 3/4 inch (from fingertip to first knuckle, yes? You have seen some old person sticking their finger in the rice? That is what we are measuring. )
Bring to a boil on high, cover and turn the heat way down to low (medium low if your stove sucks) Check it in 15 minutes if white rice, 45 if brown rice. If done, take it off the heat. If not, give it 5 more minutes on the burner then move it.
Fry the rice and egg up together with some soy sauce, add some garlic in whatever form, bonus points if you have any white pepper, suddenly elevated.
Or even just some ketchup, make omurice, can't go wrong.
Ketchup wtf
that ruins the egg lol
Nah just the eggs are fine, sprinkle some salt and its good
Hey, it's a thing, blame the Japanese!
You fry the rice in ketchup, serve it in an omelette. Optionally top with more ketchup.
Can sub the ketchup for demi-glace if that is more palettable, but that's way more effort than I'm willing to put in for lazy time breakfast food.
Omurice is awesome! Sounds terrible but is great. I frying some chopped onion and adding to the rice.
Tell me more about this. Any other tips? Soy sauce?
You can use ketchup in stir fries the same way you'd use hoisin sauce or oyster sauce. Breaking it down, ketchup is tomato, vinegar, salt and sugar. I put it in after I've gotten the wok hei I want off the rice/veg/meat/egg, immediately after getting the food and fond off the sides of the wok with a lil shaoxing wine. Add in your sauces, toss to mix, sprinkle with scallion/chive/garlic scape greens, sesame seeds, serve.
