卵かけご飯 (Tamago Kake Gohan)
Start by rinsing 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and will make your rice fluffy.
Cook the rice according to your rice cooker's instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes, or on the stove, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, lower the heat, and simmer for about 18 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, prepare your toppings. Crack 1 raw egg into a small bowl and beat it gently with a fork. You want a smooth, creamy texture.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer a serving (about 1 cup) to a bowl.
Pour the beaten egg over the hot rice, letting it lightly cook from the heat of the rice.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the top.
Finely chop 1 green onion and sprinkle it over the egg and rice combination.
Finally, cut a piece of nori into small strips to sprinkle on top for added flavor.
1 serving

- Top with sliced avocado for creaminess and a modern twist!
- Make sure the rice is hot when you add the egg; this helps cook the egg slightly, making it safe to eat.
- Use high-quality, fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
