3 cups cooked Japanese rice

1 small carrot, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/4 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into small cubes

2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola, grapeseed)

1 tablespoon tonkatsu sauce (vegetable and fruit sauce. I use Bull-Dog)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 eggs

Preparation

In a pan over medium heat, add oil, garlic and cook for a minute. Add chopped carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Add rice and peas and mix well. Add soy sauce, tonkatsu sauce, black pepper and salt, and mix well. Push the rice to one side and break the eggs on the clear side. Slowly scramble the eggs and incorporate with the rice. Serve!
