Bacon and Egg Rice Bowl with Avocado, Pickled Cucumber and Spring Onion
This recipe was inspired by one of our dear customers who told us they drizzle our White Soy, Tahini and Yuzu Dressing over eggs and cucumber for breakfast every morning! We’ve amped it up with crisp bacon, pickled cucumber, avocado and togarashi for a nice kick! We think it’s worthy of breakfast, lunch or dinner!
