Main Ingredients- 1 bunch of chives (approx. 50-70g, about the size of a coin)
- 4 fresh eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently rinse the fresh chives under running cold water to remove any debris. Pat them dry thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm long. Cutting them too long can make them difficult to stir-fry.
Step 2
Crack 4 fresh eggs into a bowl. Prepare to gently whisk them.
Step 3
Carefully pour 1/3 cup (approx. 60ml) of clean water into the cracked eggs. Adding water will make the eggs fluffier and more tender when cooked. Stir gently to avoid creating too much foam.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, place the prepared chives and add 1/2 Tbsp (approx. 5g) of fine salt. The salt will help draw out some moisture from the chives, making them taste even better when stir-fried.
Step 5
Pour the whisked egg mixture over the chives. Ensure the eggs coat the chives gently.
Step 6
Using a spatula or chopsticks, gently mix the eggs and chives together evenly. It’s important to mix softly so the egg mixture coats the chives uniformly.
Step 7
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 4 Tbsp (approx. 60ml) of grapeseed oil. Tilt the pan to ensure the oil coats the entire surface. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when ingredients are added, ensuring a crispy and delicious result.
Step 8
Carefully pour the prepared chive and egg mixture into the heated pan. You should hear a satisfying sizzle as it hits the hot oil.
Step 9
Maintaining medium heat, gently stir the mixture with a spatula as the eggs begin to form soft curds. Cook until the eggs are cooked through and the chives are wilted, but be careful not to overcook, as the chives can become tough. Stir continuously to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Step 10
Once the eggs are tenderly cooked, taste and add a little more salt if needed to adjust the seasoning. Finally, sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and a drizzle of fragrant sesame oil to enhance the flavor.
Step 11
Transfer the aromatic scrambled eggs with chives to a serving plate. This delicious dish is best enjoyed immediately while warm!
