Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk until just combined — don't overbeat.

  2. Step 2

    Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, tilting to coat the pan evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in eggs and let them sit undisturbed for 20 seconds, then gently push from edges to center with a spatula.

  4. Step 4

    Continue folding every 10–15 seconds until eggs are barely set but still glossy and creamy, about 2 minutes total.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat while eggs still jiggle slightly; drizzle soy sauce over top and fold in chives.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls, top with soft eggs, grilled fish, and stuffed eggplant. Serve immediately.
