- 2 tbsp butter

In a pan with some oil, fry the egg until the edges are golden and crispy.
Step 3
Drain the oil from the pan, then add the butter and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns a rich, dark brown. Stir in the spring onions and chili flakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon the rice into a bowl, then top with the crispy egg and brown butter. Finish with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavours.
