Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Sauce
- 2 avocados, flesh scooped out from skin
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Olive oil, as needed
- Water, as needed to thin
Eggs
- 8 large eggs
Sautéed Bok Choy
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 big bunches bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Olive oil, as needed for sautéing
Assembly
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup chopped kimchi
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Creamy Avocado Sauce: In a blender, combine the avocado flesh, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Gradually add olive oil and water, blending until you reach a thick, velvety consistency. Set the sauce aside for later use.
- Cook the Jammy Soft-boiled Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle boil and cook for exactly 6 minutes to achieve a jammy yolk. Drain the hot water, rinse the eggs under cold water to stop cooking, carefully peel the shells, and set the eggs aside.
- Sauté the Bok Choy: Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bite-sized bok choy pieces and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until wilted and bright green. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with halved jammy eggs, sautéed bok choy, and chopped kimchi. Drizzle generously with the creamy avocado sauce and finish by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe avocados for the smoothest sauce texture.
- Adjust the amount of olive oil and water in the avocado sauce to get your preferred consistency.
- Carefully time the eggs cooking to ensure perfect jammy yolks.
- Bok choy can be substituted with other leafy greens like spinach or kale if preferred.
- Toast the sesame seeds lightly before sprinkling for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately after assembly to maintain the texture of the ingredients.
