Notes

Prep everything in advance. This recipe comes together quickly once started. Keep stirring in steps 2 and 3 so the chilies, garlic and ginger don't burn. For the rice, preferably dry it out, uncovered, in the fridge for a day or two. Fluff the rice with a fork before starting, try to break it up into individual grains. For sunny-side up eggs, place them in and, using a spoon, take oil from the pan and ladle it onto the egg whites to help cook them quickly. The eggs should only take a minute or two to cook through.
