Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa (about 185g cooked)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or mixed greens (loosely packed)
  • 1 small carrot, julienned or grated
  • ½ cup sliced cucumber
  • ¼ cup edamame, shelled and cooked (about 40g)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional garnishes: thinly sliced scallions, crushed red pepper flakes, fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions (about 20-25 minutes). Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  2. Wash and prep fresh vegetables: julienne or grate the carrot, slice cucumber thinly, shell edamame if frozen, and set aside spinach or mixed greens (about 10 minutes).
  3. Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 4 room-temperature eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for soft, jammy yolks (5 minutes for runnier yolks). Immediately transfer eggs to ice water to stop cooking and cool. Peel gently once cooled.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic if using until smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes). Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowl by layering cooked grains, fresh spinach and other vegetables. Slice soft-boiled eggs in half and nestle on top. Drizzle generously with miso-sesame sauce and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and optional garnishes.
  6. Serve immediately while eggs are warm and sauce is fresh. For prep ahead, keep grains and sauce separate until serving to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs to prevent cracking. Plunge eggs into ice water immediately after boiling to stop cooking and ease peeling. Whisk miso paste well to avoid lumps. Adjust sauce sweetness or acidity to taste. For vegan version, replace eggs with marinated tofu and honey with maple syrup. Store grains, veggies, and sauce separately to avoid sogginess.
