X'mas dinner (kind of)

Okay we couldn't call it Christmas dinner, but its only dinner at Christmas. I cooked 2 dishes for today's dinner. First was Chicken Katsu (at least it looked like chicken katsu :p), and the second one was Steamed egg.

I'll give the the recipe and the process.
First is chicken katsu:

Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

- 200 gr boneless chicken breast
- Plain flour
- Bread Crumb
- 1 Egg
- salt and pepper
- rice wine
- light soy sauce

First of all, marinade the chicken with rice wine, light soy sauce, salt and pepper for about 5-10 minutes.
Place the flour, egg and panko crumbs into separate shallow dishes. Beat the egg.
While waiting the chicken, heat the wok and cooking oil for deep frying the chicken with medium heat.
Coat the chicken in flour on both sides, then dip into the egg, and coat in bread crumbs.
After the oil hot enough, deep fry the chicken until golden brown. Done!

Second, the steamed egg:

Preparation: 5 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes

- 3 eggs
- chopped spring onion
- salt and pepper
- 100 ml water

Beat the egg on a bowl, give salt and pepper. Mix them together, and put spring onion into the egg. Add water into the egg, mix it well.
prepare the tools for steaming. I don't have any steamer, so I just use a pan and small bowl. Put water into the pan, and put the small bowl upside down into the pan.
Wait until the water boil. After boiled, place the bowl of egg on top of the small bowl. Close the pan, and wait for 20 minutes. Use low heat.

Pictures probably tell much more.
So here they are.
