Description

Start your day with a spicy and savory kick! This breakfast bowl combines nutty brown rice, tender kale, and a perfectly fried egg cooked in chili crisp—a flavorful infused oil with crunchy bits like garlic and peppers. It’s a delightful twist that adds heat and texture to your morning routine.


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.

This recipe is inspired by the concept of cooking eggs in chili crisp to add a flavorful and crispy element to breakfast dishes.
