Vegetarian Tomago Gohan (Japanese Egg Rice)
Ingredients:
- Drizzle of avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 to 3 cups hot, cooked jasmine rice or brown rice
- 2 large eggs
- Splash of low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Optional Toppings:
- Extra egg yolks
- Sliced avocado
- Roasted sweet potato cubes or broccoli
- Pickled red onions or pickled ginger
- Thinly sliced nori or furikake
- Microgreens or sprouts
- A splash of rice vinegar or lime juice for brightness
Instructions:
- Divide the hot rice between two bowls. While the rice is steaming, crack 1 egg into each bowl. Add a splash of soy sauce or tamari and stir quickly and vigorously. The heat of the rice will gently cook the egg, creating a creamy, silky coating on the rice.
- Sprinkle the rice with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
- Add your choice of toppings, layering flavors and textures to your liking. A combination of creamy avocado, roasted vegetables, and tangy pickled additions creates a balanced bowl.
- Serve immediately with extra soy sauce or tamari on the side for seasoning.
