Step 1: Start by cooking the long grain rice according to the package directions. This will ensure perfectly cooked rice for our delicious dish.
Step 2: Once the rice is cooked, allow it to cool slightly. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. Finely chop 4 green onions and dice 3 hard-boiled eggs.

Step 4: Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, ensuring that the edges overlap the sides of the pan. Transfer the rice mixture into the lined loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure it fills the pan evenly.
Step 5: Cover the top of the rice mixture with the overlapping plastic wrap. This will help to keep the dish compact and prevent any air from reaching it.
