Korean " Oma" Fried Rice With Egg Topping

Recipe #133294 | 20 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is the rice my mom would make with leftovers. You can have any type of meat and vegetables you want inside but the special touch is the egg that is draped over the rice and specially seasoned. The measurements are all approximate. Back in the day we would use reserved bacon fat instead of or along with the sesame seed oil because it would add a lot of flavor but this option of course is not very healthy.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Basic Ingredients

  • 4 cups white rice, prepared and cooked
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce (if dark use only 2)
  • 3 stalks green onions, trim roots & mince (reserve about 1/2 tsp for egg topping)

Add any of the following to your liking (the recipe assumes all leftovers and vegetables are cooked)

Any type of leftover cooked meat cut small such as

Any type of leftover cooked Vegetable cut small such as

For Egg Topping

Optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Rice:.
  2. 2
    In pan, add oil, vegetables, meat, rice and any other additional leftover ingredients you choose. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on medium-high heat stirring and covered the last 3 minutes on medium-low heat.
  3. 3
    Add soy sauce at the end to preserve taste and benefits of soy sauce and remove from heat. Mound it on a plate and place to the side.
  4. 4
    Egg Topping:.
  5. 5
    Place vegetable oil in a small frying pan and spread around well so that it covers the entire pan.
  6. 6
    On low heat slowly put beaten eggs in pan. Cook like you would an omelet without folding (nice and happy, flat eggy) Make sure it is thoroughly cooked.
  7. 7
    When egg is cooked flip the egg onto the fried rice and drizzle on the sesame oil. Sesame oil has more healthy benefits when it's not cooked.
  8. 8
    Add the following the sesame seeds, green onions plus if you choose, crumbled roasted seaweed, pinch of red pepper flakes.
  9. 9
    Salt and pepper to taste and eat up while hot!
  10. 10
    My dad and brother would of course cover this all with ketchup if it didn't have the kimchee while my mom would use her hot pepper paste. I just liked mine plain.
  11. 11
    =P.
  12. 12
    You can use the egg topping method for the entire plate of rice or make individual egg toppings for each person.

A delicious easy option for leftover meat, rice, and veggies! Just the right amount of sesame oil, too. Thank you myhaiku for sharing.

    I cut the recipe in half (except for the egg topping). I used leftovers from Asian Barbecued Pork Tenderloin, Oriental Stir Fried Broccoli, and Oseng-Oseng Wortel, chopped fine. I loved the egg topping with the sesame and green onion toppings. I'll definitely be making this again. with the variety of add-ins this will never get tiresome! Made for Unrated Asian Recipe Tag.

    We love fried rice, and when I cook rice, I always try to make extra so that we can enjoy this special favourite shortly! To this recipe I added cooked bacon, peas, and a couple of finely diced cooked potatoes. The egg topping was lovely, and this was well-received, DD2 was very disappointed that there were no leftovers for her lunch the next day, she would eat this every day! Thank you, made for Unrated Asian recipes tag.
