Lee Chan-won’s Ultra-Easy Microwave Soy Sauce Egg Rice Bowl Recipe
Here’s an incredibly simple microwave soy sauce egg rice bowl recipe! It’s perfect for a quick and satisfying meal when you’re short on time.
Ingredients- 2 large eggs
- 1 bowl (approx. 200g) of cooked rice
- A small handful of chives (about 5g)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
- 1/4 tablespoon (approx. 3-4ml) sesame oil
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1/4 tablespoon of sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to create a savory sauce base. This sauce is key to the delicious flavor of your egg rice bowl.
Step 2
Carefully crack the 2 large eggs into the bowl with the sauce. Try your best not to break the yolks or damage their shape as you add them, preserving their beautiful appearance.
Step 3
Gently pierce the egg yolk with the tip of a fork. This crucial step prevents the egg from exploding inside the microwave during cooking, ensuring a safe and successful meal.
Step 4
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 1 minute and 40 seconds. Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave’s wattage and the size of the eggs. A good tip is to start with 1 minute, then check the egg’s doneness and continue microwaving in 10-second increments until it’s cooked to your liking. For a softer, runnier yolk, reduce the cooking time slightly.
Step 5
If you accidentally broke the yolk while piercing it, or if you prioritize a perfectly neat appearance, here’s a helpful trick: use a toothpick to gently poke the yolk just once. This will help maintain its shape and prevent bursting while still allowing heat to penetrate.
Step 6
Serve the warm rice in a bowl. Gently place the cooked soy sauce egg on top of the rice. Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over the egg and rice. Finally, garnish with finely chopped chives and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a beautiful and flavorful finish. Enjoy your delicious, quick meal!
