- 3/4 tsp kosher salt fine

If you haven't already, cook the rice. Follow the instructions on the package to get it going first.
While the rice is cooking, heat a nonstick skillet or pan over medium-low heat. Spray your skillet with olive oil and crack the eggs on the skillet. Season your eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover the eggs and allow them to cook until the whites are set around the edges and the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
When the rice is finished cooking, pour it in to a medium bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. When rice is cooled a bit, add cilantro, green onions, and 2/4 teaspoon of the salt to the rice.
Divide the rice mixture among 5 bowls. Top each with one sunny-side-up egg, a few slices of tomato, a few slices of avocado and season with another pinch of salt over the tomato, avocado, and rice.
Serve warm with a little hot sauce, if desired.
- For the rice, you have several options. You can make rice from dry rice the traditional style or you can buy cooked rice. Packaged cooked rice can be found either in the rice aisle or frozen aisle of the grocery store. Kroger and Trader Joe's have packaged cooked rice that is delicious and I am sure there are choices at your local grocery if you do not have one of these stores near by.
