Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG)

Tamago Kake Gohan is one of Japan's most popular comfort foods for breakfast. Simply crack a raw egg over a steaming bowl of hot rice, top it with soy sauce, and enjoy the textural delight that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients
- 1 erving cooked Japanese short-grain rice (typically 1 cup, 150 g per rice bowl serving; hot and freshly steamed or reheated from frozen)
- 1 large egg (50 g each w/o shell) (fresh, free range, and locally sourced; or find pasteurized eggs at a well-stocked Japanese market; you can pasteurize eggs at home)
- soy sauce (good quality)
- toppings of your choice (I like to sprinkle dried bonito flakes called katsuobushi; furikake (rice seasoning), nori (dried seaweed), chopped green onions, and natto (fermented soybeans) are also popular)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. For the steamed rice, ¾ cup (150 g, 1 rice cooker cup) of uncooked Japanese short-grain rice yields 2¼ US cups (330 g) of cooked white rice. See how to cook short-grain rice with a rice cooker, pot over the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
- To a rice bowl, add 1 serving cooked Japanese short-grain rice. The rice should be steaming hot. Then, make a well in the middle of the rice. Crack 1 large egg (50 g each w/o shell) into the well.
- Drizzle a small amount of soy sauce onto the egg. Now, add the toppings of your choice. I like to sprinkle katsuobushi onto the rice around the egg.
- Drizzle a bit more soy sauce on the topping, if you wish. Be careful not to add too much, as the saltiness will overpower the sweetness and richness of the dish. Finally, stir the ingredients with a pair of chopsticks until the egg is fully incorporated into the rice and turns a pale yellow color. Enjoy!
