Welcome back to Chelsea's K-Food Recipes! Today, we’re making a super simple yet incredibly flavorful dish—Soy Sauce Butter Rice (간장 버터밥, Ganjang Butter Bap). This dish is similar to Soy Sauce Egg Rice, but instead of using a raw egg, we melt butter into freshly cooked rice, combining it with soy sauce to create a savory and rich flavor. It’s best when eaten with steaming hot rice so the butter melts perfectly into every grain. Let’s dive into this easy and delicious recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 bowl of freshly cooked hot rice
- 1 tbsp butter (unsalted or lightly salted)
- 1-2 tsp soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rice
- Start with a bowl of freshly cooked hot rice. The key to this dish is ensuring the rice is steaming hot so that the butter melts into it.
2. Add the Butter
- Place a tablespoon of butter on top of the hot rice. As the butter melts, it will coat each grain with a rich and creamy texture.
3. Add Soy Sauce
- Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of soy sauce over the buttered rice. Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your preference for saltiness.
4. Mix Well
- Using a spoon or chopsticks, mix the butter and soy sauce thoroughly into the rice until everything is evenly combined.
5. Garnish and Serve
- For extra flavor, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
- Enjoy the Soy Sauce Butter Rice immediately while it's warm and flavorful!
Tips for Perfect Ganjang Butter Bap:
- Make sure to use hot, freshly cooked rice to melt the butter fully and bring out the best flavor.
- You can add a bit of extra richness by topping with a soft-boiled egg or even a sprinkle of seaweed flakes for added texture.
- Adjust the butter and soy sauce to your liking for a creamier or more savory dish.
Soy Sauce Butter Rice is a quick, comforting dish that highlights the simplicity of butter and soy sauce with perfectly cooked rice. It’s a favorite for both kids and adults, making it a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
