- Generous amount of roasted shredded seaweed
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- 2 servings of freshly cooked warm rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the avocado. If using frozen avocado, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. If using fresh avocado, wash it, cut it in half, remove the pit, peel, and dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Portion the freshly cooked warm rice into two bowls. Arrange the prepared avocado slices attractively over the rice. The creamy avocado will add a wonderful texture to the bowl.
Step 3
Next, it’s time for the mentaiko. If you’re using fresh, unseasoned mentaiko, it’s important to remove the outer skin. Make a lengthwise cut along the skin with a knife or scissors, then gently scrape out the roe with a spoon or the back of a knife. This will cleanly separate the mentaiko. Place the extracted mentaiko onto the rice.
Step 4
Add the shredded seaweed for a nutty aroma. Crushing your own roasted seaweed will give it a richer flavor. While store-bought shredded seaweed is fine, we recommend lightly toasting and crushing your own if possible. Sprinkle generously over the bowl.
Step 5
Now, let’s create the crowning glory: the fried egg! Take your two fresh eggs and fry them in a lightly oiled pan until the yolk is still runny (sunny-side up or over-easy). The runny yolk will add a luscious richness. Gently place the fried egg on top of the avocado and mentaiko. Your visually appealing meal is almost complete!
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds for an extra nutty touch, and your healthy and delicious Avocado Mentaiko Rice Bowl is ready! Isn’t that incredibly simple? The mentaiko itself is salty enough that you won’t need any additional seasoning.
Step 7
Before eating, break the egg yolk and mix it with the avocado and mentaiko. The creamy, savory flavors will be divine! Even those who aren’t usually fans of avocado will find this dish delightfully non-greasy and incredibly tasty. Enjoy this wonderful meal that nourishes your body and satisfies your taste buds. Happy cooking!
