This is the ultimate comfort food: Japanese-style Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG, raw egg over rice) meets butter & soy sauce rice!
The method is simple: cook the egg white first, wrap it around the yolk and a pat of butter, then place it on top of hot rice.
Break it open and let the golden yolk mix with melted butter and soy sauce—it’s absolutely decadent and addictive. Once you try it, there’s no going back!

- 1
Lightly oil a nonstick skillet. Spread the egg white thinly in the pan and cook until set. Place the raw yolk and pat of butter in the center, then fold the edges of the egg white omelette over to wrap them up. Let the folded omelette sit in the skillet if you prefer a soft-set instead of runny yolk.

Place on top of hot rice. Break open the omelette, drizzle with soy sauce, and dig in!

Tips & Notes
・Use a large egg (L size) to ensure that you have a larger egg white for extra white —it makes wrapping up the yolk and butter easier.
・Adjust the doneness of the yolk from runny to soft-set to suit your taste.
・Add more or less butter/soy sauce to adjust the saltiness to taste.
