Instructions

Heat a small pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter.
Crack the egg into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness — sunny side up is common, but you can scramble or soft-boil it too.
While the egg cooks, place the hot rice in a bowl.
Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Add the butter if using.
Place the cooked egg on top of the rice.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, black pepper, sesame seeds, and green onions.
Mix everything together just before eating for the best flavor. Serve with roasted seaweed if desired.

Notes

You can add kimchi, leftover veggies, or even a dash of gochujang for extra flavor.
This dish is very flexible — great for using up leftovers or customizing to your taste.
Make sure your rice is hot so it melts the butter and warms the egg.
