Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of cooked Jasmin rice
  • 2 teaspoon of Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or Canola oil
  • a pinch of pepper (optional)
  • chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. First, make Jasmin rice (if you don't have the leftover rice). Rinse the rice in the inner pot of the rice cooker with water 2-3 times to get rid of the starch. Let all the water drain, add some water. The ratio is 1:2, today, you will need 1 cup of Jasmine rice to 2 cups of water. Then, place inner pot in the rice cooker.
  2. Cook the rice according to the rice cooker's instructions. After it's cooked, let it sit for about 10 minutes to let the water completely evaporate. If you're cooking in a pot, bring it to a boil, then down to a medium-low simmer. Cover until the water completely gone and rice's completely cook.
  3. Add 1 cup of cooked Jasmin rice into a mixing bowl. Crack 2 eggs into the bowl, add 2 teaspoons of Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce and some pepper (optional). Mix everything together.
  4. Heat up the oil in a pan, medium heat. To test if the oil is hot, drop a tiny bit of egg mixture into the pan. If it is sizzling, that means the pan is hot and ready.
  5. Add the egg mixture into the pan. Cook until the eggs are mostly set but the center is still a little runny and the bottom starts to turn golden brown.
  6. Flip the eggs with a spatula. Don't worry if it breaks, it does not have to stay in tact, it will still taste good. Let the other side cook until golden brown.
  7. Turn off the heat, garnish with some chopped cilantro (optional). Serve hot with Sriracha sauce or Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. Enjoy the King's Sun Egg!
Notes
His Majesty's original recipe calls for a few drops of Maggi sauce. Overseas, where His Majesty spent his childhood, fish sauce was hard to find. These days, most Thais prefer to use fish sauce rather than Maggi. I'd prefer Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce and a pinch of fresh ground black pepper.
