# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than your coffee brews, yet tastes like you've been planning it all week.
  • The ginger scallion sauce is genuinely addictive and transforms everything it touches into something better.
  • You can prep most components ahead and assemble in minutes on busy mornings.
02 -
  • Jammy eggs are a timing thing, not a guessing game, so don't try to eyeball it or you'll end up with either rubbery or runny yolks instead of that perfect creamy center.
  • Pressing your tofu matters more than any seasoning can fix, so take two minutes to actually press it and don't skip that step even when you're rushed.
03 -
  • A quick marinade of 15 minutes with the tofu seasoning transforms it from good to unforgettable, so if you have the time, take it.
  • For a vegan version that's just as satisfying, swap the eggs for creamy avocado or roasted mushrooms and the bowl loses nothing.
