# How to Make It:

01 - Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and cook for 6.5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and halve.
02 - In a bowl, toss tofu cubes with soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and garlic powder.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, turning until golden and heated through. Set aside.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together scallions, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and chili flakes.
05 - Divide warm rice between two bowls. Top each with greens, cucumber, carrot, seasoned tofu, and a halved jammy egg.
06 - Drizzle generously with ginger scallion sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro or microgreens.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The jammy egg yolk becomes its own silky sauce, turning every bite into something luxurious without any real effort.
  • You can prep almost everything while the eggs cook, making this feel faster than ordering takeout.
  • The ginger scallion sauce tastes like restaurant quality but comes together in under a minute.
02 -
  • Don't skip pressing your tofu—it seems like an extra step but it's the difference between a bowl worth eating and one you'll resent.
  • The sauce is best made just before serving so the ginger and scallions stay bright and fragrant instead of turning dull and oxidized.
03 -
  • Keep your sesame oil in a cool spot because rancid sesame oil tastes deeply wrong—fresh is non-negotiable here.
  • Slice your scallions right before you eat so they stay sharp and perfumy instead of turning bland as they sit.
