  • 1 cup Japanese short-grain white rice
  • 1 piece Fresh pasteurized large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (preferably Shoyu)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Furikake rice seasoning(optional)

  • 2 pieces Toasted Nori seaweed strips(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the short-grain rice thoroughly until the water runs clear and cook it in a rice cooker or pot until fluffy.

  2. 2

    Transfer the steaming hot rice into a deep ceramic bowl immediately to retain maximum heat.

  3. 3

    Create a small well or indentation in the center of the hot rice using a spoon or chopsticks.

  4. 4

    Crack the pasteurized egg into a separate small bowl first to ensure there are no shell fragments.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg into the well of the rice and add the soy sauce, mirin, and dashi powder.

  6. 6

    Using chopsticks, briskly whip the egg into the hot rice until the mixture becomes pale, frothy, and creamy.

  7. 7

    Garnish the top with furikake, toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and bonito flakes.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately while the residual heat of the rice slightly thickens the egg into a silky sauce.
