Three of my favorite foods come together to create this healthy and yummy Fried Egg & Avocado Rice Bowl which is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
In about the time it takes you to fry up an egg, you can make this filling and tasty Fried Egg & Avocado Rice Bowl. Something about the yolk mingling with the avocado and rice is just to tasty.
Make this rice bowl using white or brown rice. Make this avocado rice bowl plain or kick the flavors up by adding some Sriracha, hot sauce, chili paste, or kimchi (yum!!), either way this dish delivers on flavor.
This is a quick and easy recipe, if using a pre cooked rice this will take you 10 minutes or less to whip up. Those 90 second pre-cooked rice bowls are a game changer when it comes to making quick meals!

What type of rice to use
With the advent of a multitude of 90 second rice packages, this recipe can be made super fast & easy. You can choose to steam white, brown, jasmine or your favorite type of rice for this or use one of the convenient packages verities. We especially like Veetee & Bibigo pre-cooked varieties. Both are quality in my opinion.
If you like fried eggs as much as my daughter and I do, you will enjoy this egg rice bowl with avocado for breakfast, lunch or dinner. So tasty & satisfying and easy to customize.
Tips
- We all cook our fried eggs differently. For a perfect yolk, cook it sunny side up in a small pan with a dab or butter (or cooking spray). Season with salt and pepper and halfway through cover (so the top of the egg becomes firm). You can also flip briefly and remove from heat if you don't care about "seeing the orange-yellow yolk as pictured.
- Season your rice, add in flavor enhancers like a squeeze of lime, scallions/chives, red pepper etc.
- Season your avocado pieces with salt, pepper, lime and red pepper for a kick. It makes a difference.
- Have fun with this easy rice bowl recipe, take it in any direction that you think you'll enjoy.
