I made a simple fried rice tonight using just green onions, eggs, and a bit of soy-based sauce for flavor.
Instead of overcomplicating things, I focused on building aroma and texture.

First, I fried chopped green onions in oil until fragrant, then added rice and scrambled eggs.
After the rice started to toast slightly, I poured in a spoonful of soy sauce and mixed everything together.
The moment the sauce hit the pan, it gave off a rich, savory aroma that filled the kitchen.

The rice turned out lightly crispy on the bottom, with a mellow sweetness and depth from the soy flavor.
I had some seasoned dried radish (mumallaengi muchim) and a bit of leftover doenjang stew from the day before as side dishes.

Sometimes, the simplest ingredients can make the most satisfying home-cooked meal.

    I make a simpler version by frying the egg and putting it on top of my rice along with soy sauce and sesame oil and mixing it. I top it up with chopped green onion and toasted Seaweed.

    Isn’t all fried rice “soy sauce flavor”?
