About This Dish:
If you're bored of your regular scrambled eggs, you should definitely try "nira-tama", chives and eggs. Many Japanese moms make this in the morning since it's so easy to make but still so tasty! Goes great with rice (I love rice with natto), Japanese mayo and miso soup! 

What You Need:
(Makes 1 serving)

• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup of raw chives (Honestly, however much you want!) 
• 1/2 - 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp Japanese sake
• (Optional) You can add sugar, mirin, sesame oil etc. Be creative :)

1. Wash, then cut up the chives to 3 - 4 cm lengths.

4. Once the chives are heated, place them into the bowl with eggs and stir.

2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the soy sauce, sake. Optionally you can add  a little bit of sugar, mirin, sesame oil; all up to you.

5. Using the same pan, scramble the eggs. I usually keep the pan on MEDIUM HIGH heat and swiftly mix the eggs. Quick and easy!

3. Heat up a pan on MEDIUM HIGH heat and pour the olive oil in. Once the oil is heated, place the chives in and cook for 2-3 minutes.
