- 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
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.
