Dinner Ideas With Just Rice and Eggs
Rice and eggs is the dinner combination you can always fall back on. Simple, filling, fast, and they go together in more ways than you think.
Rice + eggs = enough
These two ingredients cover protein (eggs), carbs (rice), and satisfying texture. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, or hot sauce if you have it. Otherwise, just use butter and salt.
- Fried rice: toss together in hot pan
- Rice bowl: fry egg on top of rice
- Congee: cook rice long with extra water
