Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Rice 200g
  • Eggs 2
  • Frozen Spinach 30g
  • Canned Tuna 1/2 can

Seasonings

  • Ketchup 2 tbsp
  • Chicken Broth Powder 1/2 tsp
  • Mayonnaise 1 tsp
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Ketchup for finishing to taste

Steps

  1. Defrost 200g frozen rice in the microwave. 6 minutes is a guideline.
  2. (For deluxe version) Heat 30g frozen spinach in the microwave. Pro Tip! Ensure it's thoroughly heated in the microwave, as some might be insufficiently cooked.
  3. Crack 2 eggs and lightly beat them.
  4. Place the warmed 200g rice into a bento box, add 2 tbsp ketchup, and mix thoroughly.
  5. Add 1/2 tsp chicken broth powder and mix.
  6. Add 1 tsp mayonnaise and mix.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (For deluxe version) Add 1/2 can tuna here and mix.
  8. Pour the beaten egg over the rice, shift the lid slightly, and microwave for 1 minute 50 seconds. Pro Tip! Heating with the lid completely closed may cause it to burst, so heat with it slightly ajar.
  9. After heating, microwave for an additional 2 minutes 20 seconds until the egg sets.
  10. Once the egg has set, drizzle with ketchup to taste for finishing. Pro Tip! If eating at work or elsewhere, it's recommended to add the ketchup just before serving.
  11. (For deluxe version) Add the heated frozen spinach. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
  12. Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before closing the lid. Pro Tip! As it cools, the flavors may become less pronounced, so you might consider adding umami ingredients like tuna, bacon, or ham, or a little more chicken broth powder.
