👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Egg-Yolk Rice
In a bowl, combine cooked rice with egg yolks.

Add:
- Corn
- Carrot

Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix gently to combine.
🔹 Step 3: Season the Chicken
In a separate bowl, add chicken pieces.
Season with:
- Cornstarch
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Mix until all pieces are evenly coated.
🔹 Step 4: Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook until:

Remove and set aside.
🔹 Step 5: Combine Everything
Add the cooked chicken back into the pot with the rice mixture.
Mix well, then pour in enough water to lightly cover everything.
Cook on medium heat until the water evaporates.
Cover with a lid and let it cook for 15 minutes.
👉 This step allows all flavors to blend and the rice to become perfectly creamy.
