Description
This is my favorite Japanese breakfast! Tamago kake gohan is simple and super fun to make. All you need are two base ingredients and a few toppings for a fluffy, eggy rice bowl packed with umami!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm, cooked Japanese short grain rice
- 2 pasteurized eggs, such as Davidson’s Safest Choice
Suggested toppings
- Soy sauce
- Tsuyu
- Furikake
- Bonito flakes
- Shirasu (whitebait)
- Natto
- Aonori or seasoned nori
- Chopped scallions
Instructions
- Divide the rice among two bowls.
- Create a little dent in the center of the rice, where the egg will sit.
- Break each egg into the dented space and add the seasoning and topping(s) of your choice.
- Quickly stir the egg using chopsticks and mix it with the rice, along with the toppings. Don’t be afraid to make a mess!
- Add more toppings if desired and eat immediately.
