Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1–2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare 2 cups of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions (approximately 15-20 minutes). Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  2. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 4 large eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for creamy, slightly runny yolks. Remove eggs and place in a bowl of ice water for 2 minutes to stop cooking. Gently peel and set aside.
  3. While the eggs boil, steam 1 cup of broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  5. Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, steamed broccoli, and chopped scallions around the rice. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Drizzle peanut-ginger sauce generously over everything. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to prevent cracking. Peel eggs under running water for easier peeling. Adjust peanut sauce thickness with warm water. For vegan version, replace eggs with pan-fried tofu and use almond or sunflower seed butter. Sauce can be made ahead and stored in fridge.
