Makes: 1 serving

What you will need:
  • 1 large white egg (72 calories) (you may also use only the yolk, I know some people dislike egg white's texture)
  • 0.5 cup of dry white rice (170 calories (this may fluctuate depending on what kind of rice you use))
  • 0.5 cup of water
  • 1 tbsp of soy sauce (10 calories, I recommend Kikoman, and this part is optional)
  • A pot and cover (or a rice cooker)

How to make
  1. Bring water to simmering boil in uncovered pot
  2. Add rice, and cover. You want soft and fluffy rice.
  3. Once the rice is done, put it in your bowl, and add soy sauce (optional)
  4. Mix
  5. Create small 'bowl' in the top of your rice, with a spoon or other utensil
  6. Crack egg and put in the small hole in the rice you have just made
  7. Mix this all together

Enjoy! This is a great breakfast, and is very filling.

    I fear raw eggs. But this sounds cool!

    I'd suggest eating local, farm raised eggs, within 21 days of laying, who's hens have had a very healthy diet.

    But if you can't do that, buying pasturized eggs at the grocery store makes the process much much safer.

    Suggestions/variations:
    - Eat wrapped up in nori (seaweed sheets)
    - Mix with a bit of miso paste for extra flavor
    - Add chopped green onion
    - For the adventurous, combine with Natto and miso at the same time.

    I've been eating this simple meal for years now with no ill effects. I like it best wrapped up in nori. :)
