Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG Japanese Egg on Rice)
https://sudachirecipes.comTamago Kake Gohan is a simple dish made of rice, egg and toppings. Here I'm going to teach you all about this classic Japanese breakfast dish including the history, how to make it and 15 of the best toppings!
Ingredients
- 150 g cooked Japanese short-grain rice
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 pasteurized egg
Instructions
- Place 150 g cooked Japanese short-grain rice in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp soy sauce.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 pasteurized egg until the yolk and white is evenly combined.
- Pour the egg over the rice and mix well.
- Add toppings of your choice and enjoy a classic Japanese-style breakfast!
Notes
It's also common to just add the egg straight to the rice (rather than whisking it separately).
It's important to mix thoroughly before eating.
Tip: I often freeze 150g portions of cooked rice and then simply microwave when I make tamago kake gohan, this is convenient in the morning when time is limited!
