Method

  1. Rinse and season

    Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear. Add rice, water or broth, soy sauce and sesame oil to a lidded pot; stir once.

  2. Simmer with cabbage

    Scatter the sliced cabbage over the rice. Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce heat to low and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  3. Cook the egg

    Make a small space in the rice and cabbage, crack in the egg, cover and cook 3–5 minutes until set to your liking. For multiple servings, repeat spaces as needed.

  4. Finish and serve

    Fluff gently, top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
