1 cup cooked hot white rice (about 12 ounces cooked rice; 340g)
1 egg (plus 1 optional egg yolk)
Soy sauce
Kosher salt
MSG powder, such as Aji-no-moto or Accent (optional)
Mirin (optional)
Hondashi (optional)
Furikake (optional)
Thinly sliced or torn nori (optional)
Directions:
Place rice in a bowl and make a shallow indentation in the center. Break the whole egg into the center.
Season with ½ teaspoon soy sauce, a pinch of salt, a pinch of MSG, ½ teaspoon mirin (if using), and a pinch of Hondashi (if using). Stir vigorously with chopsticks to incorporate egg; it should become pale yellow, frothy, and fluffy in texture.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Sprinkle with furikake and nori (if using), make a small indentation in the top, and add the other egg yolk (if using). Serve immediately.
