Spinach Rice Breakfast Bowls
Description
This breakfast bowl starts with seasoned rice combined with frozen, chopped spinach heated until warm and lightly buttered. Separately, an egg is soft-steamed in simmering water for six minutes, yielding a yolk that is softly set but not fully hard. After peeling, the egg is placed atop the spinach and rice mixture, which is seasoned with salt and black pepper. A splash of hot sauce adds a contrast of heat and tang to the mild, rich ingredients. The method ensures the egg retains a tender interior, while the butter enhances flavor in the spinach-rice mix. This bowl offers a comforting, balanced start to the day with protein, greens, and grains.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice $0.11, cooked, seasoned
- 1/2 cup spinach $0.16, frozen, chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp butter $0.08
- 1 egg $0.21, large
- pinch salt $0.03
- pinch black pepper $0.03
- hot sauce $0.05, splash
Instructions
- Place one inch of water in a small sauce pan. Bring it up to a boil over high heat with the lid on top. Once it reaches a full boil, add the egg in the pot, replace the lid, and let boil/steam in the shallow water for exactly six minutes. After six minutes, pour out the hot water, rinse with cool water, then peel immediately.
- While the egg is cooking, add 1/2 cup of precooked seasoned rice to a bowl along with 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach. Microwave on high until heated through (about two minutes, stirring once half way through). Season the spinach and rice with butter and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the egg is cooked and peeled, add it to the bowl with the spinach rice, drizzle hot sauce over top, and eat.
Notes
- Coconut oil can be substituted for butter to vary the flavor.
- Try adding herbs to the spinach and rice for more taste variety.
