is it okay to eat raw egg with brown rice? I know Japanese eat raw egg over white rice for breakfast and it seems pretty healthy. I'm getting super lazy and dont feel like making food. :D

    I would be very hesitant to eat a raw egg due to the risk of salmonella.

    I wouldn't eat raw egg unless I knew the farmer and the chicken it came from. I don't trust store bought dairy enough, sometimes they don't get them in the cooler when they are supposed to.

    you have to cook the brown rice, right? that takes a heck of a lot longer than scrambling an egg

    I scramble eggs on sunday and divide for 2-3 servings. then I micro them during the week for egg sandwiches.

    If you're too lazy to cook an egg, you have some definite problems. Take you brown rice, mix your egg into it and stick it in the microwave. Instant fried rice without the oil.

    It is as long as the rice &/or other ingredients are hot enough to cook the egg. My favorite Japanese meal is "bin n bob" where it's rice, seaweed, shredded cucumber, carrot, lettuce, and an egg cracked over the top. Sometimes the meals come in very hot bowls. Just make sure you stir it thuroughly & that it's not left raw. :smile:

    After the rice is cooked, crack an egg into it. The heat from the rice will automatically cook your egg. Or when your heating the rice in the microwave, the egg will cook. Try it...

    eating it while i searched online to input my calories... its fine, the heat from the brown rice cooks it, its kinda like sushi without the fish part. Its part of a daily culture in japan to eat that for breakfast every morning.

    Tamago kake gohan is safe, wash your egg beforehand. If you live Europe, I honestly wouldn't trust it. The amount of salmonella left on eggs in the US is very very low due to the washing process.

    I overcooked my rice when I made it so it was pretty tasteless, make sure to add soy sauce and salt though....
