Rice and Egg Bowl with Spinach

20 min

A simple, comforting bowl filled with fluffy Japanese rice, a fried egg, and a sprinkle of fresh spinach. The subtle sweetness of the rice and the richness of the egg yolk create a delicious combination that's perfect for starting your day


Ingredients

  • 1 cup Japanese short grain rice, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  2. 2Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.
  3. 3Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. 4Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. 5In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper, then heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. 6Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble them gently, cooking until they are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. 7To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between two bowls, top with the scrambled eggs, wilted spinach, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  8. 8Serve immediately, with your choice of additional toppings, such as diced scallions or grated cheese.
