The ingredients are chicken, egg, carrot, onion, honewort, sugar, salt and Japanese style stock. First, you cut carrot like cut onion in slice. Next, you fly chicken and onion with pan. Next, you add carrot and also add sugar, salt, soy source and Japanese style stock. Next, you dissolve egg and add it and put honewort over egg. Therefore, you can put ingredient over rice. That is all. It’s easy.
