Simply delicious, cheap n quick

I was channel surfing the other night when I came across You Jin, a well-known Taiwanese writer, talking about her poverty stricken childhood when her mother had nothing better to feed her children than eggs and rice.

Then she gave the recipe which was so undemanding that even a kitchen novice could score a triple A.

I tested it out and swear that it took less than 3 minutes to prepare and another 15 minutes or so to cook, unattended. And my fussy mother even conceded the result was delicious and nutritious.

Recipe (Enough for two -- adjust accordingly for more diners)

Half a cup of uncooked rice, wash, put into rice cooker with water and a little butter and begin cooking. Break two eggs into a bowl and whip gently, adding pepper, and a pinch of salt. When rice is at the stage where its surface has minature craters, pour the beaten egg over them and cover, leaving the cooking to complete.

Optional
Sprinkle some sesame oil over the egg on the rice. I also sprinkled some sesame seeds and hawthorn berries I happened to have before closing the cooker lid for the process to complete.

Oo-lah teaching my sister how to cook a blog...
