Oyako

This is a japenese dish that Ryan and I like to get at this little restaurant down here. A couple of weeks ago it sounded good, but we didn't want to go out to eat so I decided to try to make it. We were actually really surprised at how well it turned out. I have to admit...I was very nervous to make it! I found a recipe and since then have made it a couple of times and have had a chance to play around with it. It is a new favorite.

2-3 chicken breasts, cut into very thin strips (almost julienned)

1 c. chicken broth

2 T. sugar

4 T. soy sauce

green onions

garlic, optional (as much as you want)

4-5 eggs, beaten

Put the chicken broth in a skillet with the sugar, soy sauce and the garlic. Put the cut up chicken in the sauce with half of the onions. Cook the chicken through. Put the remainder of the onions in and the beaten eggs. Turn the burner down and let the eggs simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

You can add whatever veges you want to this. Carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, squash, zucchini...it is good with anything. Today I put a yellow squash and the cabbage in it and it was great. Serve over rice. ENJOY!
