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.
  • Top each bowl with scallions, sesame seeds, and your chosen additional toppings. Consider adding avocado slices or roasted broccoli for a balanced, veggie-rich meal.
  • Serve immediately with extra tamari on the side for seasoning.
