Ingredients

1 cup cooked rice hot
1 egg
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

Place the cooked rice in a bowl. Make sure the rice is hot. If you just scooped it out of the rice cooker, great! If the rice came from the refrigerator, microwave it for a minute until the rice is hot.
Use chopsticks to make a little indent in the center of the bowl.
Gently crack open the egg into the center of the bowl (where the indent is located).
Use chopsticks to quickly stir/whip the egg into the rice. This should take about a minute. The egg and rice mixture should turn nice and frothy and fluffy. It should be light yellow in color.
Drizzle the soy sauce on top. Taste and feel free to use more soy sauce if you'd like. Then it's ready to eat!
