Fried Egg with Rice

My friend Tara and I love food. We love to talk about it, look at menus, dream about restaurants we want to try and the like. We do not live in the same state but whenever we get together we tend to make breakfast for everyone (she for us if we are visiting, and me for them in the reverse). The last breakfast that she made for us was Toamago Kake Gohan, aka a Japanese inspired fried egg on rice.

What you will need for this recipe

Thankfully, not much! Which is in part why this Japanese inspired fried egg on rice dish is so great!

Ingredients:
White rice – any white rice will do
Sesame oil
Furikake
Eggs
Olive Oil
Cilantro
Sriracha
Salt

That is it! What is even better, you can decide how much to use of each!

How to make your Toamago Kake Gohan

1. Make your rice and set to the side.
2. Cover your rice in as much sesame oil as your heart desires.
3. Fry your egg in olive oil so that it is sunnyside up. My suggestion is to fry it in a pan and then cover with a lid. It will cook and crisp up nicely.
4. Place your egg on top of your rice and cover in as much furikake as you like.
5. Cover with cilantro and sriracha (again, to your liking!)
6. You can add a pinch of salt if you like. Otherwise, serve and enjoy!

Why I love Toamago Kake Gohan

I love recipes that include rice as rice can be done up in a million ways. This recipe is so quick and easy that it is hard not to love it. When Tara made it for us the first time, I took my first bite and knew it was love. Josh and I ate as much of it as we could! I know that you will love it, too.
