Put the 250 g of basmati rice in the saucepan and rinse it with cold water, swirling it around, until the water runs almost clear. Drain well.
Get the rice going
Add 40 cl of water and the pinch of salt to the saucepan, bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat way down. Let it cook without lifting the lid.
Tip · Never lift the lid while it cooks or rests, or the steam escapes and the rice stays hard.
Cut the veggies
Peel and slice the onion. Wash the green bell pepper, remove the seeds and dice it small.
Soft-boil the eggs
Lower the 4 eggs into a saucepan of boiling water and set a 6 min timer. Move them straight into ice water, then peel them gently.
Tip · Lower the eggs straight into boiling water, not cold, and time 6 min for set whites and runny yolks.
Sauté the veggies
Heat the 3 cl of olive oil in the skillet over high heat, then cook the onion 3 min. Add the bell pepper, curry powder, salt and pepper, and sauté another 5 min, stirring.
Let the rice rest
Turn off the heat under the rice and keep it covered 10 min. Meanwhile, pour the 3 cl of soy sauce over the veggies and stir 1 min.
Fluff the rice
Take off the lid and fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
Plate up
Divide the rice between 2 plates, spoon the veggies on top, then add 2 soft-boiled eggs per plate. Cut them in half right when you eat so the yolk runs.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.
How long does it keep?
Eat it fresh. Soft-boiled, poached or scrambled eggs are made to order: reheated, they firm up and the runny yolk is gone. Make them the day you eat them, it's done in 5 minutes!
