The history of raw egg on rice

It is said that raw egg on rice became popular during the Meiji period.

Originally, before the Edo period, due to the influence of Buddhism, there was a custom of prohibiting the eating of meat, and the same was true for chicken eggs.

It was during the Edo period that people began to eat eggs, but due to their high nutritional value, they were treated more as medicine than food.

It is said that something similar to today's egg on rice existed during the Edo period, but it was during the Meiji period that it became common to eat it.

It has been a standard breakfast dish since back then, and the most common version is called keiran-ae, which is rice topped with raw egg, salt, and chili pepper.

How to eat delicious egg rice

From here, I will explain how to eat delicious egg on rice.

The best egg on rice

The first thing I'd like to introduce is the "Exquisite Raw Egg and Rice," characterized by its refined sweetness.

The basic ingredients of rice, raw eggs, and soy sauce are the same, but the first step is to separate the egg yolks and egg whites.
Then add a small amount of dashi stock, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and sugar to the egg whites and mix vigorously.
Place it on top of freshly cooked rice, add an egg yolk in the middle, and it's done.

With regular raw egg on rice, you wouldn't normally think of adding sugar, but this adds a refined sweetness, allowing you to enjoy a slightly different kind of raw egg on rice.

Soft-boiled egg on rice

"Soft-boiled egg over rice" offers a special thickness that cannot be replicated with raw eggs.

The ingredients used are the same, but this soft-boiled egg is recommended when you want to eat something a little different from your usual rice with raw egg on top.

However, although soft-boiled eggs may look easy to make, it can be difficult to perfectly recreate the cooking method at home, so making raw egg rice is surprisingly difficult.

Egg and rice with salmon roe

This is rice with raw egg and salmon roe topped with soy sauce.

It is not easy to get fresh, tasty ikura itself.
You'll become addicted to the feeling of the salmon roe slowly becoming familiar to your tongue when mixed with the egg.

Ikura is expensive, so it will cost a little, but it is recommended when you want to splurge a little. It is high in protein and has even more nutritional value.

Butter, cheese and egg rice

"Butter Cheese and Raw Egg on Rice" is, as the name suggests, rice with raw egg on top and butter cheese added.

At first glance you might think, "What is that?", but it's an addictive taste.

Put the rice into a bowl and add about 10g of butter in the center.Add a generous amount of melted cheese on top and make a well in the center.

Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 20 seconds at 600W, then place an egg in the cavity and drizzle with soy sauce and it's done.

It is not recommended to eat it every day as it is high in calories, but if you eat it occasionally, it will fill you up and leave you feeling satisfied.

How can you make raw egg rice even more delicious?

To enjoy raw egg on rice, you need to be particular about how you eat it, but just as important are the ingredients.

No matter how ingenious the method, if the ingredients are poor quality, the result will honestly not be of high quality.

You can enjoy a higher level of raw egg rice by using ingredients that enhance the flavor of the dish, such as eggs or rice, or so-called high-quality products, rather than the eggs or rice that are sold at ordinary supermarkets.

Of course, it's fine to make it at home, but if you want to try some truly delicious egg-on-rice, be sure to visit a restaurant that serves egg-on-rice.

I think you'll find the best egg on rice you've ever had.
