- 1 egg
- 1/2 onion
Seasonings & Others- 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- Pinch of minced garlic (optional)
- Pinch of sesame seeds
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

- 1 Tbsp perilla oil

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare half a zucchini and half an onion. Wash the zucchini thoroughly before use.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion into strips. For the zucchini, cut it into bite-sized half-moon or flat pieces, similar to how you would slice vegetables for ‘nabak kimchi’ (water kimchi).
Step 3
Heat a pan. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add anchovy sauce and perilla oil. Perilla oil adds a wonderful nutty flavor.
Step 4
Add the sliced onion and zucchini to the pan and stir-fry them together.
Step 5
Stir-fry over medium heat until the vegetables soften. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 6
When the zucchini and onion are almost cooked, add 5 tablespoons of water and bring to a simmer. This step enhances the vegetable flavors and adds moisture.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Avoid over-beating to maintain a soft texture.
Step 8
Pour the lightly beaten egg evenly over the simmering zucchini and onion mixture in the pan. The egg will cook and naturally blend with the vegetables.
Step 9
Once you pour the egg, don’t stir vigorously right away. Let it set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula. Aim for soft, fluffy scrambled egg consistency mixed with the vegetables.
Step 10
Fill a bowl with warm rice.
Step 11
Finally, nicely arrange the cooked zucchini and egg mixture on top of the rice. This completes your delicious Zucchini and Egg Rice Bowl. For an extra touch, sprinkle with sesame seeds or a pinch of red pepper flakes to your liking.
