Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon optional hot sauce (e.g., Sriracha)
Instructions
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the spinach leaves to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Crack the egg into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, flip the egg and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat once done.
Warm the cooked brown rice in the microwave or on the stovetop, then transfer to a serving bowl.
Arrange the sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and cooked egg on top of the brown rice.
Drizzle the soy sauce evenly over the bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper.
If desired, add a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, satisfying Brown Rice Breakfast Bowl.
