The Most Amazing Eggs Over Easy Recipe with Scallions, Soy Sauce, and Rice

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This one is a variation on a classic budget dish in my house. For years we’ve made fried eggs and rice on busy nights but adding the scallions and soy sauce really puts it over the top!

This recipe is a super fast weeknight favorite that feels fancy but takes little to no time or money. There is something about egg yolk and rice that is a match made in heaven. And if you’re not a yolk fan, this is still good with scrambled or over hard eggs.

Eggs and Rice: A Classic Budget Dinner

For years, my husband and I have made what’s called a lacy egg, which is basically a really fast fried egg in oil over high heat so that it crisps right up and the whites end up with a lacy pattern. This egg over white rice is delicious especially with some steamed broccoli, soy sauce, and chili crunch. This new recipe puts things over the top by cooking fresh scallions in with the egg and cooking the egg right in the soy sauce.
