Rice Bowl with Egg and Silky Sauce (Tamago Ankake, 卵あんかけ丼）is a dish where a thickened, savory starchy sauce with egg is poured over rice. This mildly flavored, simple rice bowl dish is perfect for any time of day, but especially convenient during crunch time. It takes no more than 15 minutes from start to finish. If you prefer a hot meal for breakfast even when busy, instead of cold cereal, the Rice Bowl with Egg and Silky Sauce is an excellent choice. Also, the smooth sauce and rice are gentle on the stomach, making it suitable even when under the weather. It’s incredibly easy to make and wonderfully warm and delicious. I hope you give it a try!
