  4. Lightly beat the eggs with a fork, so you can still see streaks of white. Pour them evenly over the chicken, cover with a lid and cook for 1 minute until just set but still soft. Spoon over bowls of rice and scatter with sliced spring onions.6 eggs1 bunch spring onions
The trick that makes it

Only half-beat the eggs so you get streaks of white and yolk. It looks and tastes better.
