Tamago Kake Gohan

Japanese flavors, weeknight effort. Short-grain rice meets egg in a 10-minute breakfast worth keeping in rotation. Each serving lands at 380 calories with 14g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Short-grain rice
• 1 Egg
• 2 tsp Soy sauce
• 1 Scallion
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 sheet Nori

Steps

1. Use very fresh, preferably pasteurized eggs for this raw-egg classic.
2. Scoop steaming-hot rice into a deep bowl; the heat gently warms the egg.
3. Crack the egg directly over the rice.
4. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, then beat vigorously with chopsticks 30 seconds until pale, frothy, and creamy.
5. The texture should look like a light custard clinging to every grain.
6. Top with sliced scallion and torn nori; eat immediately.
