Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Divide hot rice between two bowls, making a small well in the center of each.

  2. Step 2

    Crack one raw egg into each well — the heat will cook the whites slightly while the yolk stays runny.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle 1.5 tbsp soy sauce and 0.25 tsp sesame oil into each bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Stir vigorously with chopsticks or a fork, breaking the yolk and mixing it into the rice until creamy and silky.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter furikake or sesame seeds over the top if using, then serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need

  • two bowls
  • chopsticks or fork
  • spoon (optional, for cracking eggs)
