Surprisingly flavorful eggs that can be complemented with a beautiful garlic or onion flavor depending on the kind of chives you use. It's super easy to make as well! The shaoxing wine and sesame oil add a lot of flavor to this dish. Furthermore it comes together in about 10 minutes and is great or breakfast, with rice, or as a side dish!
I modified the original recipe, which is from: https://thewoksoflife.com/chinese-chives-eggs/
Note: the original recipe call for 2 cups of chives, and 4 Tbsp. oil, which to me was excessive
The recipe is here, and pictures of the process are below:
Ingredients:
5 large eggs (about 250 g)
1 Tbsp. water
1 tsp. Shaoxing wine
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/8 tsp. sugar
1 cup garlic or regular chives, sliced into 1 cm pieces (40 g)
1-2 Tbsp. oil
Directions:
Begin heating a wok or nonstick pan on medium high heat.
Whisk the eggs, water, wine, sal, sesame oil, white pepper, and sugar together for 30 seconds or until there are bubbles forming on the surface.
Stir in the chives.
Add oil to the pan and heat for about 30 seconds.
Add in eggs and scramble until cooked to your desired doneness. Because of the water they will be soft and fluffy.
Serve! Makes 2 servings.
