Meals with eggs and rice

Eggs and rice is a go-to combo in kitchens around the world — and for good reason.

Together they're cheap, fast, and filling. Add soy sauce and you have a complete meal.

How to stretch these ingredients

  • Day-old rice works best for fried rice — freshly cooked gets mushy
  • A splash of sesame oil at the end adds a lot of flavor
  • Add any leftover vegetables you have
  • Soy sauce is the key seasoning for most egg-rice dishes
  • A drizzle of sriracha or chili oil makes it more interesting
