A quick and easy dinner bowl featuring soft-boiled eggs atop seasoned grains and fresh veggies, perfect for New Year’s Eve celebrations or any festive gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup jasmine rice (or brown rice for nuttier texture)
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup shelled edamame
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups water or vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  2. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add 4 large eggs using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a soft and slightly runny yolk. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop cooking. Once cool, gently peel and set aside.
  3. While the rice cooks and eggs boil, shred the carrots, chop the spinach, slice scallions, and slice the avocado. If using frozen edamame, thaw in warm water and drain well.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, grated ginger, and optional chili flakes. Taste and adjust sweetness or heat as desired.
  5. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide into four bowls. Arrange shredded carrots, spinach, edamame, and avocado slices on top. Place one soft-boiled egg on each bowl, slicing it in half to reveal the yolk.
  6. Drizzle the sauce generously over each bowl. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a timer for perfect soft-boiled eggs and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peeling eggs under running water helps avoid shell bits. Sauce can be made ahead. For vegan version, omit eggs and add marinated tofu or chickpeas. Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for variation.
