Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup tamari or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Chili flakes
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped broccoli florets
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 4-5 cups steamed rice
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Combine tamari and honey in a small bowl. Season to taste with chili flakes.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook until edges set, about 1-2 minutes. Gently scramble the eggs until just cooked through.
  3. Add the steamed rice, broccoli, and remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Toss the rice to coat it evenly with the butter.
  4. Pour the tamari-honey sauce over the rice mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to crisp and caramelize, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the thinly sliced green onions until just combined.
  6. Serve warm immediately, garnished with extra green onions and chili flakes if desired.

Notes

– Use day-old, cold steamed rice for the crispiest texture.
– Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
– Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
