Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 bowl instant rice
  • 1/4 can canned ham (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons onion (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons green onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 tablespoon jin soy sauce
  • 1 slice sliced cheese
  • generous amount of mozzarella cheese
  • a pinch of salt
  • a little pepper
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • a little parsley powder

Recipe 🍳

  1. Prepare by roughly chopping green onion, onion, and canned ham into small pieces, like for fried rice.
  2. In a deep microwave-safe bowl, crack 2 eggs, add a pinch of salt and a little pepper, and whisk well with a spoon.
  3. To the beaten eggs, add the chopped onion, green onion, and ham (1-2 tablespoons each), 1 bowl of instant rice, and 1 tablespoon of water to provide moisture.
  4. Add 1/2 tablespoon of jin soy sauce, then mix everything together until the egg mixture, rice, and vegetables are evenly combined.
  5. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap, leaving a small gap at the edge for steam to escape, and microwave for 3 minutes to cook the eggs.
  6. Carefully remove the bowl, take off the plastic wrap, and top the rice with 1 slice of cheese and a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with parsley powder.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap again and microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and appetizing, then serve.

  2. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 minutes to cook the eggs.
  3. Top with sliced cheese and mozzarella cheese, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you chop the vegetables and ham the night before and store them in a container, you can cut the morning cooking time by 1-2 minutes, making it very convenient.
  • When microwaving, sealing the plastic wrap tightly might cause it to burst from internal pressure, so be sure to leave a small vent for safety.
  • Since the cheeses used as toppings provide some saltiness, add only a pinch of salt when making the egg mixture to balance the flavors.
