Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup dry white jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice with 1 1/4 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
2. Step 2: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add 2 large eggs and boil for exactly 6 minutes to achieve half-boiled eggs with partially set whites and creamy yolks. Remove eggs and immediately place in ice water for 3 minutes. Peel carefully.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups fresh spinach leaves and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted but bright green. Remove from heat.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp freshly grated ginger, and 1 tbsp sesame oil until combined.
5. Step 5: To assemble, divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed spinach and peel and halve the half-boiled eggs, placing them yolk side up.
6. Step 6: Drizzle the soy-ginger sauce evenly over the eggs, spinach, and rice. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped scallions and serve immediately for a balanced, savory meal.
