Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Divide warm rice between two bowls, packing it gently to form a small mound in the center of each.

  2. Step 2

    Crack one egg into each bowl directly over the rice, keeping the yolk whole and centered.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle soy sauce and mirin over the egg and rice in even strokes.

  4. Step 4

    Top each bowl with nori strips, scallions, and a pinch of furikake if using.

  5. Step 5

    Stir vigorously with your spoon until the raw egg yolk breaks and coats the rice, then serve immediately.
