here is a recipe with five ingredients that can be prepared even by people who take pride in not knowing how to cook. i am told it is japanese.

canned or pouched tuna
honey
soy sauce
eggs
rice

proceed thus:

cook the rice. short-grain is preferred here.
add tuna to a warmed frying pan at medium-low heat. if the tuna is packed in water you will need to drain and oil the pan. now add honey, about a quarter cup for a can of tuna, and cook until the tuna begins to get dry. add honey to adjust the sweetness. now add soy sauce to the level that you like, which is 1-2 tablespoons / can tuna for most people. fry until it is dry.
scramble the eggs. you would like a relatively large curd, so cook them quickly at a strong heat.

fill your bowl with rice, then add egg and tuna on top. eat with chopsticks.

variations are welcome.
