Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to package directions. Let cool slightly, then spread on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to dry it out.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and scallions. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, gently add the chilled rice by the handful and cook, undisturbed, until crispy and browned on the bottom, about 3 to 5 minutes per batch.

    Transfer the crispy rice to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.

    Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    To serve, divide the crispy rice among bowls and top each with a fried egg. Drizzle with the ginger-scallion vinaigrette.
