Fried Eggs with Soy Sauce

There are two kinds of fried vegetable, black pepper beef with onion, and fried eggs with soy sauce in today's lunch. Yes! My favorite fried eggs with soy sauce again. My mom would add this course to supply my lunch if dishes are not enough. Especially it is very simple and quick to deal with it.

Most time to fried eggs is just to put salt, not soy sauce. Mixing with soy sauce is our private dish. It is so easy that I could do it when I was a elementary school student. Sometimes we visited my uncle Yang when I was young, he would cook lots of fried eggs because he raised many chickens.
Another story for soy sauce is interesting. The importance of this sauce for Chinese is just similar to curry for Indian, cheese for European, and catchup for American (I guess:p). We almost cook everything with it. You can see my meals before; soy sauce is unavoidable everyday. Like cheese, there are so many sorts of it by difference of ingredient, consistency, brewing process and so on. It is mainly made by soy bean, but also made by fish or Kombu (a kind of kelp) especially in Japan. Because of brewing by salt, it tastes salty and comes little sweet like savoring wine. Hence when cooking, we usually replace salt with soy sauce. However, a bad soy sauce tastes only salty but not sweet. So the dish must fail, too.
