A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring crispy fried eggs drizzled with chili oil served over fragrant garlic rice. Perfect for busy mornings with a spicy, comforting flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked white rice (per serving; leftover rice preferred)
  • 1–2 large eggs per person, room temperature
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced finely
  • 2 tablespoons chili oil (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
  • Salt to taste (sea salt or kosher salt preferred)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Fluff leftover rice with a fork to break clumps. For fresh rice, cook ahead and let cool slightly to prevent sogginess (about 5 minutes).
  2. Heat the pan: Place skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. When shimmering, add minced garlic and stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned (1-2 minutes).
  3. Add the rice: Toss rice into the pan with garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, pressing rice gently against pan to create crispy bits. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  4. Transfer garlic rice: Spread the garlic rice evenly on a serving plate (1 minute).
  5. Fry the eggs: In the same pan, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and increase heat to medium-high. Crack eggs into pan and fry until edges are crispy and golden but yolks remain runny (2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Assemble the dish: Place fried eggs on top of garlic rice. Drizzle generously with chili oil (1 minute).
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top for freshness and color. Serve immediately while hot (1 minute).

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Watch garlic carefully to avoid burning. Adjust chili oil amount to taste. For firmer yolks, cook eggs longer or cover pan briefly. Leftover rice fries better and is less soggy.
