$5.50 Cafe-Styled Japanese High-Protein Brunch – Beefy Soba Noodles with Sunny Side Up and Avocado

I love breakfast with a passion. If I skip breakfast, my entire day will be ruined. Crazy no?

The one complain I hear from my clients a lot though is this – I’m sick of oats and eggs. Well tell you what? You don’t need to have oats and eggs all the time. Breakfast, especially on weekends is a great time to step out of your comfort zone for a little bit and explore other healthy, nutritious options.

And since it’s soba month in October, I thought how about whipping up something soba-ish with egg and avocado and all the other staples of breakfast goodness?

So I tried and tested and guess what? This little beast of a high protein meal right here is super amazingly delicious, I want to cry!

I’m also adding in the cost of each meal from now onwards and this, can you believe it, will only set you back $5.50!

How about trying it out and telling me how you go?

• 2 eggs
• 1 avocado
• 1 tbsp liquid aminos

This is how you do it:

1. Begin by cooking the soba noodles according to instructions.

3. Prepare the avocado by seeding and cutting it anyway you like. I like it lengthwise.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium high. Add in 1tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
5. Cook minced beef until the redness disappears slightly.
6. Add spinach and sauté until slightly wilted.
7. Add in cooked soba noodles.
8. If you like, top it off with more spinach.
9. Add in liquid aminos and pepper to taste.
10. Set the cooked beef and soba aside.
11. Now heat a non-stick skillet again on medium high with 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.
12. Crack an egg and let it cook to your liking.
13. It’s now time to serve – you just made two servings depending on your macros and calorie needs, serve appropriately.
14. If you like, have some fruits with the soba noodles, eggs and avocado. Doesn’t hurt to boost the nutrient content!
15. Lastly, sprinkle some chopped spring onions.
16. Enjoy!
