Steps

Cook the Rice

First, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Typically, cook in double the amount of salted water, covered, over low heat for 15-20 minutes, then let it rest for 5 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a bowl to cool down and prevent sticking.

Sauté the Onion

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the red onion. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.

Add the Eggs

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with half of the salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed onion and scramble them, stirring constantly, as if making scrambled eggs. Do not overcook; keep them slightly creamy.

Combine and Season

Add the cooled, cooked rice to the pan with the egg and onion mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the rice absorbs all the flavors. Season with the remaining salt and pepper, and adjust seasonings to taste if needed. Heat everything through for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.

Serve

Serve the egg rice immediately while hot, either on its own or as a side dish with your favorite meat meal. Enjoy!

Extra Tips

► For cooking the rice, you can use vegetable broth instead of water for an even richer flavor.

► If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes to the onion while sautéing.

► Before serving, sprinkle with fresh chives or spring onions for an even fresher taste.
