  • 2 to 3 cups very hot cooked brown rice
  • 2 eggs
  • splashes of tamari
  • 1 scallions finely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Scoop the cooked brown rice among two bowls. While the rice is piping hot, add 1 egg per bowl along with splashes of tamari, and stir vigorously so that the egg gently cooks as it coats the rice, making the rice a creamy consistency.
  2. Top each bowl with scallions, sesame seeds, and desired additional toppings. Serve with tamari on the side, for seasoning.
