A quick and comforting breakfast bowl featuring silky eggs whisked with miso paste and toasted sesame oil, served over warm rice or quinoa and garnished with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or light cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups steamed rice or cooked quinoa

Instructions

  1. Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions and keep warm.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 2 tablespoons milk or cream, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small splash of sesame or neutral oil, heating to about 250°F (120°C).
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let sit for a few seconds until edges start to set.
  5. Gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center using a silicone spatula, cooking slowly for 4-5 minutes until creamy and slightly runny but not raw.
  6. Remove from heat just before desired doneness; eggs will continue cooking off heat.
  7. Serve the creamy eggs over warm rice or quinoa in a bowl.
  8. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Optionally drizzle extra sesame oil or soy sauce.

Notes

Use low heat and cook eggs slowly to keep them creamy and silky. Remove eggs from heat while slightly underdone as they continue cooking off heat. Toast sesame seeds lightly for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk. If no toasted sesame oil, use regular sesame or neutral oil.
