Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover immediately, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

Remove the pot from heat and let it rest, still covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice.

While the rice rests, gently crack each egg into a separate small bowl, ensuring the yolks remain intact; set aside.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, and toasted sesame oil until well combined, creating the seasoned sauce.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide evenly into two warm serving bowls.

Carefully slide one raw egg onto the center of the hot rice in each bowl.

Season each egg with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
