I got this recipe from a local magazine, RASA. This edition is on Indonesian food. It's a simple one and too. Me and sisters love it!

600 gram chicken fillet + beef

2 tblspn of light soy sauce

salt

Simple, right?

From Kayoko..

..In a cooking pan, add small quantity of dashi stock (85 cc per person), soy sauce (15 cc per person) (use Japanese brand one - like Kikkoman - if you can), and 1-2 tea spoons of sugar (Japanese would use sweet wine called Mirin, but apart from it is difficult for you to find, it is not halal).

Slice thinly half a small onion per person. Dice chicken (Japanese like chicken thigh), about 40-50g per person.

Add onion to the pan with stock, and bring to boil, then leave it for 1 min.

Then add diced chicken, bring to boil and cook 1 min stiring sometimes.

Crack 2 eggs per person and mix with folk stiring 3 or 4 times (you should not mix the white and yellow too much), and pour the eggs and chopped leek or spring onion (they can be added after the cooking, but I personally don't like them completely raw) in the pan, and stir with chop sticks (or something similar) only once (dashi stock and eggs should not be mixed completeley). Cover with a lid, and when the eggs are half-set (Japanese love half raw egg, but if you don't cook it thoroughly).

Pour it onto white steamed rice in bowl or on plate.

You may start eating now.
