Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon chili crisp (available in Asian markets or the international aisle)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 cup baby kale or spinach
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice and Greens: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, baby kale, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the rice and greens are well coated. Set aside.
- Cook the Egg: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chili crisp and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Crack the egg into a small bowl to ensure it’s shell-free, then gently slide it into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the egg white is set and the yolk reaches your desired level of doneness, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowl: Transfer the rice and greens mixture into a serving bowl. Place the chili crisp-fried egg on top. Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your spicy and savory breakfast bowl right away.
Notes
- Variations: Feel free to substitute baby kale with spinach or arugula. For added protein, consider including sliced avocado or a sprinkle of feta cheese.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair this bowl with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a well-rounded breakfast.
- Storage: For meal prep, you can prepare multiple servings of the rice and greens mixture in advance. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat the mixture and top with a freshly cooked egg.
