This bowl is visually striking with a dome of multi-grain rice center stage, crowned with a gleaming, sunny-side up egg. Clockwise around the bowl, vibrant colors pop from the quick-pickled cucumbers, bright and charring broccoli florets, juicy shredded carrots, and lean strips of beef bulgogi. Sprinkles of black and white sesame seeds add a finishing touch.
