Asian Chicken with Rice

My has it been a long time since I posted anything! I temporarily lost my will to experiment with cooking and ended up eating some rather boring food over the course of the last year (or eating the wonderful things that my girlfriend cooked up for me of course). However tonight I was cooking something new and finally remembered to post it, so let's hope we get a new batch of recipes going!

This one has a very delicious sauce, hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do:

require 'white_rice'

ingredients = {
  :white_rice => 0.5.recipe,
  :chicken_breast => 1,
  :soy_sauce => 1.tbsp,
  :sherry => 2.tbsp,
  :egg => 1,
  :corn_starch => 1.tbsp
}

if you.like? :onion
  ingredients[:onion] = 1
elsif you.like? :onion_powder
  ingredients[:onion_powder] = 0.5.tsp
end

if you.want?
  # you can add stuff to the white rice just by sticking it in the pot
  # while it cooks
  you.make :white_rice, :with => you.select [:corn, :peas, :chopped_spinach]
else
  you.make :white_rice
end
