1

Combine all of the tahini ingredients together in a mixing bowl and whisk them to combine. Set them aside.

2

Bring water to a boil and add in a cold egg from the fridge. Boil it exactly as long as you want it (8 minutes recommended) and prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the egg has been in for the allotted time, shock it in the ice water and let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then peel it and cut it in half.

3

Season the cooked brown rice with salt and lemon, then divide it between two serving bowls.

4

Arrange some chickpeas between the bowls. Then add the sweet potato, cucumber, and avocado.

5

Combine the grated carrot, shaved cabbage, and herbs in a bowl and toss them with the tahini dressing, seasoning with salt. Add it to the bowls, followed by the egg halves.

6

Spoon the dressing over all of the ingredients and finish with hot sauce if desired.
