Spicy Chili Rice Bowl with Fried Egg

Despite the name resembling an ice cream sundae, this is actually a savory rice bowl (donburi style). The experience comes from the meeting of hot rice, crunchy cold salad, and creamy egg yolk. The spicy chili and acidic lime wake up the taste buds.

Instructions

1

Slice the chili pepper and quickly fry it in sesame oil.

Tip: The oil absorbs the chili's capsaicin, making the whole dish spicy, not just the pepper slices.
2

Fry eggs sunny-side up or soft boil them (yolk should be runny).

Tip: Solid white, liquid yolk – this textural contrast is the goal.
3

Pile warm rice into a bowl, top with greens, the fried chili with its oil, and the egg.

4

Drizzle with soy sauce and lime juice, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Mix before eating.

Tip: The hot rice slightly wilts the salad, making it easier to eat.

Recipe FAQ

Why use a runny egg?
The runny yolk acts as a natural sauce: when mixed with the rice, it creates a creamy coating.
