Step 1
Divide hot rice between two bowls, making a small well in the center of each.
Step 2
Crack one raw egg into each well — the heat will cook the whites slightly while the yolk stays runny.
Step 3
Drizzle 1.5 tbsp soy sauce and 0.25 tsp sesame oil into each bowl.
Step 4
Stir vigorously with chopsticks or a fork, breaking the yolk and mixing it into the rice until creamy and silky.
Step 5
Scatter furikake or sesame seeds over the top if using, then serve immediately.
Tools you’ll need
