    Kimchi Rice Bowl with Jammy Eggs

    i know that some of the bowls i post here are a bit of a pita. multi-step vegetable side dishes make for tasty lunches, but sometimes they're too much. i get it. not this kimchi rice bowl based off the hg street bowl from home grown in oakland (rip), though.

    it was one of those pretty cold for california days in december (nothing like last week though, when i was late for work because i had to scrape ice from my car- what?!), and i had dragged my mom with me to oakland (who then dragged my cousin). mostly because i wanted someone to drive me to an interview (the company i interviewed at/worked at was not nearly as exciting as pixar, whose campus was down the street). and the kimchi rice bowl i had for lunch before the interview? i have fonder memories of that than the entirety of the 6 months i spent there realizing that neither the work i was doing nor the product i was working with interested me at all.

    anyways, i've really grown to appreciate how nutty and chewy brown rice is in the past few years, and i have to say, homemade brown rice beats white any day. it's no exception in a kimchi rice bowl, where it acts as a hearty base for jammy eggs (soft-boiled and runny), creamy avocado sauce, garlicky bok choy and heaps on heaps of kimchi.

    not sure what else to eat your kimchi with? how about a cozy plate of kimchi eggs, or maybe a bowl of crunchy cucumber strips with kimchi dressing?

    Recipe Notes

    Inspired by the HG Street Bowl from Home Grown Oakland.

    Don't like runny eggs? (Don't blame you - sometimes I don't either!). Feel free to do hard-boiled, scrambled, fried, whatever you want instead of these jammy soft-boiled eggs. #kimchi #ricebowl #lunchideas #runnyeggs

        this weather is so temperamental. i've been thriving in all the warmth + i love getting home when the sun is still out, and then it started raining again last week and it felt like mother nature was teasing us lol

      What a fabulous meal! And so healthy. I only cook brown rice. It's just healthier. At least sushi places are now offering brown instead of white, which I appreciate.

        i love the flavor of brown rice, and if it's healthier too, all for it (; sometimes white rice is nice though, especially for sushi because the grains stick together better (brown rice would get allll over me).
