20-Min Clay Pot Rice with Crispy Edges
Vietnamese comfort in one skillet: cooked rice gets layered with savory toppings, soy sauce, and a knob of butter, then crisped hard until the bottom shatters. Serve with a cracked egg on top and a drizzle of fish sauce—pure TikTok gold.

Step 1
Heat a 10-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles immediately.
Step 2
Add butter, then press the rice into the skillet in a single even layer, breaking up clumps with a spatula.
Step 3
Drizzle soy sauce over the rice, sprinkle scallions on top, and don't stir—let it sit and crisp, 5-6 minutes.
Step 4
Push rice aside to make two small wells, crack an egg into each, cover with a lid or foil, and cook until whites set, 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Drizzle fish sauce over the eggs and rice, then slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
