Tamago Kake Gohan
This Tamago Kake Gohan is a creamy Japanese rice bowl mixed with protein-rich eggs and a savory splash of tamari for a quick, nutritious meal.
Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 2 to 3 cups very hot cooked brown rice
- 2 eggs
- Splashes of tamari
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
- Optional toppings: extra egg yolks, thinly sliced nori, Japanese pickles or pickled ginger, microgreens, splash of rice vinegar or umeboshi vinegar, avocado slices, roasted broccoli
Instructions
- Scoop the cooked brown rice into two bowls while still piping hot.
- Crack one egg directly into each bowl, along with splashes of tamari, and stir vigorously until the egg lightly cooks and forms a creamy coating over the rice.

- Serve immediately with extra tamari on the side for seasoning.
