I enjoyed this as a child but as Silver Surfer 3001 had described it. Hot buttered rice with an over easy egg. Instead of the Ketchup though, I grew up using Soy sauce....shoyu. Being Japanese, soy sauce was a stand in for salt, in my house, when eating eggs. I always have to bring a little package of it when I go out for breakfast and "grrrr" if I forget.

This was really good! I made this for our weekly office breakfast. It was my turn to bring breakfast and I wanted to bring something different. I did add sauteed chopped green bell pwpper and some shredded cheddar cheese, but I'm sure it would have been just as good as originally written. Thanks for posting, I'll be making this again!

Hi, Redallnite! My Grandma would always fix this for breakfast when we'd spend the night with her. (Except we called it Rice and Eggs! lol) Now I fix extra rice just so we can have a quick, easy breakfast the next day. Sometimes I add a little shredded cheddar cheese and minced green onion tops to the mix. It's yummy!

This is a great comfort food! Growing up without a lot of money, the rice was used as an extender for many many many things in our house. Our family twist on the recipe is that rather than scrambling eggs into the rice, we would simply cook regular steamed rice, and then fry the eggs to a perfect over medium (over easy could work for this dish as well - even for the squeamish). Place the fried egg(s) atop the rice, and chop them up and mix thoroughly, so that the yolk flows through the rice, and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven. If you feel really daring, and want to experience it the way we did as I was growing up, you could add a dash of ketchup to the dish as well.... Great recipe! Glad to know I'm not the only one in this great big old world with "funny" tastes in confort food...
