Stuck in a recipe rut? Looking for something delicious, easy and CHEAP? Try this EASY Asian Rice Recipe, guaranteed to become a family favorite!

Our kids complained recently that we are in a food rut. When that happens, I know it’s time to pull out a travel inspired recipe. While on the hunt for a quick congee recipe (Cantonese rice porridge), I realized it takes too long to cook. Then, I discovered this three ingredient wonder from Japan called tamago kake gohan. The recipe calls for raw egg, something I don’t like, so I modified it, using an egg cooked over easy. It has no name, so I’ll call it like it is: Asian Rice Recipe with egg and soy.

Asian Rice Recipe with Egg and Soy

asian rice ingredients

Ingredients:

  • Cooked white rice (works great with leftover rice, just heat it up)
  • One egg, cooked over easy (runny yolk adds to yumminess)
  • Soy sauce

Spoon cooked rice into bowl. Lay cooked, unseasoned egg over top. Drizzle with soy sauce to desired taste. Enjoy!

Yes, it’s that simple! Don’t over-think this recipe. Double up the eggs (two per serving) and serve with fresh fruit for a simple, wholesome meal for the whole family and still dine for less than $10!

We’ve enjoyed this Asian Rice Recipe three times in the past two weeks, at the kids’ request. It’s creamy, warm and comforting, especially on a cold day. My oldest son, who likes spicy food, sometimes adds a few drops of sriracha to his dish, but the rest of us keep it simple… as if four ingredients is difficult. 🙂

My only problem is this dish needs a better title. Asian Rice Recipe with Egg and Soy is just too long… Any suggestions?

Enjoy!

    I think this looks yummy—but I’d have a heard time getting my family to eat it—they are not really too keen on their foods touching =}

    This looks like something I should try. We never make anything with rice, so I know this would get us out of our dinner rut!

      We have rice often. I usually make extra. Then, when I want this dish, I just reheat the rice and add the egg. Quick!

      I had it again for lunch today, and added a dash of orange juice to the soy. Four ingredients, still easy and yummy!

    I will have to give this one a try. Looks yummy! How about Ellie’s ___ Asian Rice.
    You are so creative, you or one of your readers will figure out the perfect name!

    We’ll have to try this. I really got to enjoy rice when I was in China.

      Me too. Though, I was surprised that noodles are more the norm in northern China. I lumped the entire landmass into one giant rice pot! Amazing what we learn through travel.

    I’ve been on a fried rice kick recently and this looks like something else I’d really like. I think I’ll try it today. Yummy!

    No idea for the name, though. I’m never good with coming up with cute titles lol.

    Oh my! I used to eat this a lot in my single days! Quick, easy and simply delicious. I have since modified the recipe. Tip: sauteed sweet onions, mix it with rice and soya sauce and then add the over easy egg (yup no raw egg for me too). Sometimes I use Teriyaki sauce. This dish always reminds me of those days 🙂
