📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Made with nothing more than egg and rice from the fridge, this is about as everyday as cooking gets. Using slightly firm, chilled rice is the trick to getting the grains to separate nicely.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A go-to lunch for using up last night's rice, often paired with a simple soup.
