Nothing makes me angrier than carb-on-carb. Like the UK's infamous "toast sandwiches" and "chip butties". Pure poverty and malnutrition

Here in Japan we have "yakisobapan", yakisoba in a bun topped with mayo.

Every country has an authentic food that is an abomination. Japan in particular has a longstanding carb tradition. Before Emperor Meiji told his country to start eating protein or they'd never keep up with the body size and strength of Western soldiers, they used to eat carb-on-carb everything. Rice and pickles was considered a meal. After Meiji normalized the eating of meat, Japan skyrocketed in height. And yet, old habits die hard and Japan still eats more carbs and less protein than it should.

Sure but yakisobapan is still delicious, cheap and slightly filling so I eat it sparingly like when I don't have time for breakfast on the way to work or if I need a carb boost before drinking.
Edit: Also tofu/natto/fish is protein and we eat a shitload of it here and people here in Japan eat more pork, beef and chicken protein than you think.

At least eat a couple of eggs with it lol, hard-boiled eggs store well in the fridge

Soft-boiled eggs are better ;-)
Heat water in a small saucepan to a rolling boil
Place a raw egg straight out of the fridge into the water
Reduce the heat to medium (a medium-gentle boil)
Boil for 6-7.5 minutes depending on how jammy you want the yolk and if you mind a slightly runny white; I prefer 6.5 minutes for a perfectly liquid yolk and a perfectly set white
Immediately put egg into ice bath for one minute to stop cooking
Peel carefully and eat2

I'll try it later today!
I just hate hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs and egg salad because they smell and taste like farts (even the egg salad sandwiches here in Japan).
I'll try your method! I love sunny side up eggs so it sounds similar!
Thank you!

Oh, I forgot Japan doesn't typically refrigerate their eggs. You want to subtract about a minute of cooking time if you store yours at room temperature.

Most people here store them in the fridge these days, I do too. Even the supermarkets do as well so no worries!

This is the culinary equivalent of English baked beans poured on French Foie Gras spread on a Viennese cut of Schnitzel.
