Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Peel the onion and cut it into thin half-rings. Heat the pan over medium heat and pour in the soy sauce.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    When the soy sauce comes to a boil, add the onion half-rings and sprinkle with sugar. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces. Don't mince it too finely — the meat should remain juicy and firm.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Place the chicken in the pan and mix with the sauce. When the meat turns white on one side, flip the slices and simmer for another 2 minutes. The fillet cooks for 3–4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    In a separate bowl, quickly beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until smooth. Do not add salt — soy sauce is already salty enough.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Pour the egg mixture onto the pan, evenly covering the meat. Cover with a lid and cook for 3–4 minutes, without stirring, until the eggs set.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Chop the green onions. Arrange the warm steamed rice on a plate in a mound.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Carefully place the omelet on the rice. Divide it with a spatula into triangular segments. Sprinkle with green onions and serve hot.
