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
Bok Choy and Aromatics
- 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: Blend the avocado flesh with fish sauce, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Gradually add olive oil and water to reach a thick, velvety consistency. Set the sauce aside for assembly.
- Cook the Jammy Soft-boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle boil and cook for exactly 6 minutes. Drain the hot water, immediately rinse the eggs under cold water to stop cooking, carefully peel, and set aside.
- Sauté the Bok Choy: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add bok choy and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until wilted and bright green. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked brown rice evenly among four 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.
Notes
- Use fresh avocado for a rich and creamy sauce; avoid over-thinning with water to maintain flavor.
- For easier peeling, cool the eggs immediately in ice water after cooking.
- Adjust the kimchi amount to your taste preference—more for a tangier kick.
- Sauté the bok choy just until wilted to retain a vibrant color and slight crunch.
- This bowl can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any season.
