Instructions
Cook the Jammy Eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes then peel and slice in half lengthwise. The yolks should be set but still slightly soft and golden in the center.
Warm the Rice
Place the cooked jasmine rice in a medium saucepan over low heat with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and heat for 5 to 7 minutes stirring once until the rice is steamed through and fluffy. Alternatively microwave the rice covered with a damp paper towel for 2 minutes. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.
Make the Chili Oil Sauce
In a small bowl whisk together the chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil until fully combined. Taste the sauce and adjust heat by adding more chili oil or balance saltiness with a small drizzle of extra soy sauce. This sauce should be punchy, savory, and aromatic with a lingering heat.
Season the Chicken
Place the shredded rotisserie chicken in a bowl and drizzle half of the chili oil sauce over it. Toss well to coat every strand of chicken evenly with the sauce. Let the chicken sit for 2 minutes to absorb the flavors before assembling the bowls.
Assemble the Bowls
Divide the warm rice evenly between two bowls. Pile the sauced shredded chicken on top of the rice. Arrange the sliced cucumber and scallions alongside the chicken then nestle the halved jammy eggs in the bowl. Drizzle the remaining chili oil sauce over everything and serve immediately.
