I had simple meal for lunch today. That means I ate natto, tofu with grated ginger, raw egg on rice. When I feel bothersome to cook myself, I just eat those things. I think they are a kind of nutritious foods and easy to eat, just put the soysouce on tofu, natto and raw egg.
My obsession of raw egg rice is adding some Ajinomoto and heating raw egg by hottest rice. I heard that heating egg makes it more nutritious than the raw one. In Japan, we call the raw egg on the rice “TKG: Tamago Kake Gohan. I love it since when I was a child.

1. Natural Version
I had a simple meal for lunch today: natto, tofu with grated ginger, and raw egg on rice. When I feel too lazy to cook, I usually eat these foods. They’re nutritious and super easy to prepare—all I have to do is add some soy sauce to the tofu, natto, and raw egg. My little twist for raw egg on rice is adding a bit of Ajinomoto seasoning and using the hottest rice possible to lightly heat the egg. I’ve heard that heating the egg slightly makes it more nutritious. In Japan, this dish is called TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan), and I’ve loved it since I was a child. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods!

I had a super simple lunch today—natto, tofu with grated ginger, and raw egg on rice. When I’m too lazy to cook, I just go with this kind of meal. It’s easy and healthy since all I need to do is throw some soy sauce on the tofu, natto, and egg. When I make raw egg on rice, I like adding some Ajinomoto seasoning and using hot rice to warm up the egg a little. I heard that heating it slightly makes it even more nutritious. In Japan, we call this dish TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan), and I’ve loved it since I was a kid. It’s simple, but so satisfying!
