Avocado Natto Rice Bowl

20210818, #breakfastdiary 183, 21°C/occasionally cloudy As the Hegelian Fukuyama saw it, world history is a process of progress advancing toward the goal of 'the realization of freedom,' and what drives that movement is the contradiction and conflict existing within the world. In that sense, the collapse of socialism — which had been in hostile competition with liberal democracy — was nothing less than an event announcing that world history had reached the endpoint of progress. (Lee Se-young, The End of History) But watching the U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban's entry into Kabul, and the exodus at the airport, it feels like world history is reversing back to before the collapse of the Soviet Union, or experiencing sheer chaos somewhere around there. I hope everyone stays safe.

1 bowl of rice, 1/2 avocado, 1 pack natto, 1 egg yolk

1. Heap a generous bowl of rice. 2. Top the rice with sliced avocado, natto, and an egg yolk. Drizzling on the clear soy sauce packet that comes with the natto is seasoning enough.
