How to Make Creamy Egg and Rice Bowl

3. In a serving bowl, add the cooked jasmine rice as the base.
4. Pour the warmed cream over the rice, making sure to cover it generously.
5. Slice the soft-boiled egg in half and place it on top of the creamy rice.
6. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of soy sauce and chili oil if desired.
7. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

• Add sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
• Top with crispy bacon or shredded chicken for added protein.
• Substitute the jasmine rice with quinoa or brown rice for a different texture.
• Incorporate a sprinkle of furikake for an extra layer of flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A light miso soup to complement the flavors.
