Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs
  • 4 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, kale)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring about 4 cups (1 liter) of water to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Carefully lower 4 large eggs into the water using a slotted spoon.
  3. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a slightly runny yolk or 7 minutes for a creamier but less runny center.
  4. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  5. While the eggs boil, reheat or cook 2 cups of quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, shaking the pan often, until golden and fragrant (3-4 minutes).
  7. Halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, slice avocado, chop green onions, grate fresh ginger, and mince garlic.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes if using. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  9. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens with the dressing and toss gently to coat evenly.
  10. Divide the grain base among four bowls. Layer with dressed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado slices, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.
  11. Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice each in half. Place two halves on top of each bowl.
  12. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the bowls, add a pinch of black pepper, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use farm-fresh eggs for best flavor and texture. Timing is crucial for perfect soft-boiled eggs—6 to 7 minutes depending on yolk preference. Peel eggs under running water or in an ice bath to ease shell removal. Toast sesame seeds just before serving for best aroma. Assemble bowl just before serving to keep ingredients fresh and vibrant. For vegan version, replace eggs with pan-fried tofu or roasted chickpeas.
