Ingredients
Scale
Creamy Avocado Sauce
- 2 avocados flesh scooped out from skin
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for thinning)
- 2 tablespoons water (for thinning)
Jammy Soft-boiled Eggs
- 8 large eggs
Sauteed Bok Choy
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 big bunches bok choy cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Assembly
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup kimchi chopped
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Make the Creamy Avocado Sauce: Blend the flesh of 2 avocados with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a blender. Gradually add olive oil and water until the sauce reaches a thick, creamy consistency. Adjust thickness as needed.
- Cook Jammy Soft-boiled Eggs: Place 8 large eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle boil and cook for 6 minutes. Drain hot water and run eggs under cold water to cool slightly. Crack and carefully peel the eggs, keeping the yolks soft and jammy.
- Sauté Bok Choy: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon minced ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 2 bunches of chopped bok choy and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes, until wilted and brightly green.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide 2 cups of cooked brown rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with sautéed bok choy, chopped kimchi, and two jammy soft-boiled eggs. Drizzle the creamy avocado sauce generously over the contents and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use firm ripe avocados for a creamy sauce without bitterness.
- Adjust the avocado sauce thickness by adding more water or olive oil as needed.
- Cook eggs immediately after boiling to ensure easy peeling and perfect jammy texture.
- You can substitute brown rice with white rice or quinoa for a different grain base.
- If fish sauce is unavailable, substitute with extra soy sauce or tamari for a vegetarian option.
- Sauté bok choy just until wilted to preserve the vibrant flavor and texture.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden for maximum flavor.
