Tamago Kake Gohan (Japanese Raw Egg Rice)

Tamago Kake Gohan is a comfort food made with raw egg over rice and finished with a drizzle of soy sauce. It may sound a little crazy to some, but it's like the Japanese version of Spaghetti alla Carbonara, and it's a popular Japanese breakfast staple. I've perfected a recipe for getting a rich, creamy bowl of TKG by separating the white from the yolk. For me, it makes the best Tamago Kake Gohan, and I'm going to show you how to make and eat this easy egg on rice dish. If you don't live in Japan, I've also got some safer alternatives to raw eggs.

THIS became my favoutite way of eating eggs now. Thanks so much for showing it

My mom always added butter on the rice before putting the egg on. I still eat this to this day.

Marc, I love your onsen egg recipe so much that I don’t often eat completely raw eggs any longer. But there’s something so comforting about a raw egg yolk mixed into hot rice that it’s still a go-to meal when I’m feeling blue or under the weather. However, I have chicken friends (more accurately, friends with chickens) and have access to very fresh eggs that are safe to eat. You can also find cruelty free eggs at local farmers markets or you can sign up to a community supported agriculture system. They usually offer chicken and duck eggs; if you’re lucky you could probably find fresh quail eggs as well.

Love this recipe, thanks for all the hard work you’ve done to bring accessible Japanese recipes to a more western audience. I think people in the US are becoming more adventurous eaters and would embrace this kind of simple comfort food.

I made this today for the first time and it's delicious, thank you so much for the step by step.

What brand of soy sauce did you use sir? I know doy sauce has different flavors depending on the brand.

[Maplecook]

I'm exactly the same, man. Didn't grow up eating it, but like it now...with nori. The second you mentioned mentaiko, all I could think about was that fantastic mentaiko pan that I got in Musashi Sakai, and the panyasan that you took me to. Wish we had a Japanese bread shop around here like that.

I love the little wiggles while eating

Dude, I just looked it up for the USA (and I'm guessing that Canada's stats must be similar). According to the University of Minnesota, "The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in every 20, 000 eggs are contaminated with Salmonella." It would take 55 years of daily raw egg consumption, to get poisoned once. I think that anyone reading this from the USA or Canada can eat raw eggs with confidence.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. This is not advice. It is my opinion, based on what I read. Anyone who eats eggs raw, does so at their own risk.

When I don't have fresh eggs, I always washed them first, then dried them before cracking them in a cooked rice.
Not sure if this makes eating raw eggs on steam rice safe, but it's better than putting the unwashed egg head-first.

[AlwaysStayGeeky]

I Had this but with beef. And I didn't know what to do with the egg. Until I saw my neighbor do it. Blew my mind! Luckily I had enough to do the same. It was so good!

[jaybeauvais]

I ate this as a child in both Japan and the U.S. I don’t think my mom ever worried about special eggs, they came from the post commissary

[arkonite]

I tried this but only when I had my own hens. I wouldn't try it with supermarket eggs. It is delicious for breakfast though. Reminds me of an Irish dinner dish I had as a child, raw egg mashed into freshly boiled potatoes. I used to call it sunshine spuds 😂😂

[trollenz]

Looks absolutely delicious... I'm french, and i would not risk it anywhere outside Japan... Not the same culture, here it's more like "salmonella ? Heh, who cares if we can make more money !"
Personally here i poach the egg before.

The UK equivalent of safe eggs are eggs with the red lion mark stamped on them. One of the requirements for the qualification is salmonella vaccination among other health standards.

[FlintForossa]

German equivalent of safe eggs are...well, any. Because of tightly controlled industry standards and the god-awful amount of paperwork involved if someone gets sick from an egg they bought. But I never saw someone split the white before. Gotta try dat. Thanks Marc & YT Recommends

[Abeuss]

Reminds me of carbonara with rice instead of noodles.. I love carbonara, I gotta try this.

[rickstard]

I'm going to try this with konjac rice 😍
