Warm rice topped with a soy-seasoned scrambled egg, edamame, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Simple, comforting, and protein-rich.
Rice can feel heavy — start with a smaller portion of rice and more egg if you're unsure. The soft scrambled texture is gentle on the stomach.

Cook 75g (dry weight, about 1/3 cup) short-grain rice according to package directions. Alternatively, use 150g leftover cooked rice and microwave until hot.
Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free. Replace edamame with steamed peas. Cauliflower rice works for lower carb.

This is inspired by tamago gohan (egg rice), simplified for GLP-1 users. Use leftover rice to cut prep time in half.
