Vegan Tamago Kake Gohan with Silken Tofu
A vegan twist on the classic Japanese breakfast, Tamago Kake Gohan (egg over rice). Silken tofu mimics the creamy texture of raw egg, while a savory soy-ginger sauce adds depth and umami.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked Japanese Rice (short grain)
- 0.5 cup Silken Tofu
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 0.5 teaspoon Grated Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions
- 1 tablespoon Nori Seaweed (shredded)
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 0.5 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 0.5 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil until combined. This is your soy-ginger sauce.
- 2If your 2 cups of cooked Japanese rice is not warm, gently heat it until it is warm to the touch. This can be done in a microwave or on the stovetop.
- 3Divide the warm 2 cups of cooked Japanese rice evenly between two serving bowls.
- 4Carefully spoon the 0.5 cup of silken tofu over the rice in each bowl. Make a small well in the center of the tofu in each bowl.
- 5Pour half of the prepared soy-ginger sauce over the silken tofu and rice in each of the two bowls.
- 6Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and 1 tablespoon of shredded nori seaweed over the top of each bowl.
- 7Serve the Vegan Tamago Kake Gohan immediately.
