Instructions
- Step 1: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add 2 cups cooked rice, 2 eggs, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs into the rice, breaking them into small curds. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and the eggs are fully cooked. Tip: If the rice is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp water to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Crumble 1/2 cup feta cheese over the rice using your fingers or a fork, ensuring even distribution. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes without stirring, allowing the cheese to slightly melt and release its moisture. Tip: Avoid over-stirring immediately after adding feta to prevent it from becoming too soft and losing its texture.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime (about 2 tbsp), 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/4 cup sour cream until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional chili powder or lime juice if needed. Tip: For a creamier texture, you can blend the mixture in a food processor briefly.
