Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry all produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and very thinly slice 2 radishes (all the radishes for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook for 1 minute. • Stir in rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, in a small microwave safe bowl, combine juice from half the lime, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of water. • Stir in sliced radishes, then cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave for 1 minute. Carefully remove plastic wrap and stir again. Set aside to pickle until ready to serve.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes. • Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is browned and tender, 3-5 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in half the soy sauce. • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan. Add shredded carrots and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until just softened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in remaining soy sauce.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Crack eggs* into pan and season with salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, you may want to cook eggs in batches.) Fry eggs to preference. Turn off heat.
• Pour sweet soy glaze into a second small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until warm, 30 seconds. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls and top each with broccoli, shredded carrots, and an egg. Drizzle with sweet soy glaze. Divide pickled radishes (draining first) between the centers of each bowl. Garnish with scallion greens, sesame seeds, and sriracha if desired. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the blend of flavors, especially the pickled radishes and scallion-lime rice. Some found it too salty or bland.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though a few noted it used many dishes. Roasting broccoli instead of steaming was suggested.
- Suggestions: Consider adding more protein like chicken or tofu. Toast sesame seeds and use less soy sauce for better balance.
- Leftovers: Tasty when fresh, but several mentioned it didn't reheat well the next day.
- Veggies: Some enjoyed the veggie variety, while others wanted more greens or different vegetables like snow peas.
Reviews from our home cooks
This was very tasty and had good portion sizes, the sweet soy sauce was really delicious on everything else in the bowl! The broccoli and carrots were cooked perfectly. The only thing we did not like were the lemon soaked and microwaved radish slices, they did not taste like a pickled radish lol just like a lemon soaked microwaved radish slice!
This recipe called for crisping and browning up the broccoli which was not possible with the current instructions. The recipe called for steaming it and then putting in a pan to brown up the edges. Trying this would cause it to be overcooked. So I didn't. The carrots came spoiled so a solution would be to send a whole carrot an leave the cutting up to the patron. Taste was very good.
The Broccoli does not need to be steamed. Just pan Sautéed is enough. Its better a little under done since it sits continuing to cook while the carrots are cooking
This is awesome, and the eggs so big and orange! As much as I appreciate having the carrots shredded and broccoli cut up, it does mean they don't stay fresh as long as the intact vegetable.
The broccoli should be steamed and then sautéed. It was nasty.
Loved this combination of egg, broccoli, rice and carrots. Really tasted good.
Love the broccoli, carrots, lime rice. Such an unusual combination, but so refreshing with the flavors and textures. Please have this more often!
This recipe made way more than 2 servings. The sauce was nice and sweet without being too salty because of the soy sauce. I love every Donburi recipe I've tried so far.
Just awesome. I loved the super quick-pickled radish and will definitely use the technique in the future. The scallion rice was bomb and easy to make, such a tasty upgrade for plain old white rice.
