   **Ingredients**

   * 1 cup hot, cooked white rice
   * 1 raw pasteurized large egg
   * 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
   * 1/2 teaspoon mirin
   * Pinch kosher salt
   * Pinch hondashi (instant dashi)
   * Pinch Aji-no-moto MSG powder (optional)
   * 1 raw pasteurized large egg yolk (optional)

   **Topping options:**

   * Furikake
   * Bonito flakes
   * Sliced scallions
   * Pickled ginger

   **Instructions**

   1. Scoop 1 cup piping-hot cooked white rice into a serving bowl. Use chopsticks or a fork to make a shallow well in the center.
   2. Crack 1 raw egg into the well. Season with 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari, 1/2 teaspoon mirin, a pinch of kosher salt, a pinch of hondashi, and a pinch of MSG powder if desired.
   3. (Alternatively, whisk the egg and seasonings in a separate bowl and mix well before pouring over the rice.)
   4. Whip vigorously with chopsticks or a fork to incorporate the egg into the rice, until the mixture becomes pale yellow, creamy, and slightly frothy.
   5. Taste and add more seasonings as desired. Top with 1 raw egg yolk if desired.
   6. Sprinkle with furikake, bonito flakes, scallions, and pickled ginger if desired. Serve immediately.
