Tamago kake gohan

Tamago kake gohan, commonly known as TKG, is a beloved Japanese breakfast that’s both simple and delicious. It consists of cooked Japanese rice topped or mixed with a raw egg and soy sauce. You might come across various names for it, including "tamago kake gohan" "tamago kake meshi" "tamago gohan" or simply "tamago kake."

Preparing TKG is straightforward. First, you begin with a bowl of Japanese rice, which can be cold, freshly cooked, or reheated. Then, you add a raw egg. Some people prefer to crack the egg directly over the rice, while others like to beat the egg first before pouring it on. You might even create a small well in the rice to hold the egg. Finally, a splash of soy sauce ties everything together.

Whether you use a whole beaten egg or just the yolk, TKG is a quick, nutritious, and comforting way to start your day.
