Main Ingredients
- 5 fresh eggs
- 1 handful of fresh chives (about 50g)
Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 5 fresh eggs and a handful of chives for your dish. Rinse the chives thoroughly under running water, drain them, and finely chop them into approximately 1cm pieces.
Step 2
Crack the 5 eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water for each egg (a total of 5 tablespoons). Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt to season. Adding a little water will make the eggs softer and more moist.
Step 3
Using a whisk or chopsticks, beat the egg mixture until the salt is dissolved and the yolks and whites are well combined. Beat until the chalazae (the white, stringy bits) are broken down.
Step 4
Now, let’s start cooking. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Swirl the oil to coat the entire surface of the pan.
Step 5
Once the pan is sufficiently hot, slowly pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan, starting from the edges. As the egg begins to set and form soft curds, gently stir it with chopsticks or a spatula to cook. Avoid stirring too vigorously to maintain a tender texture.
Step 6
Continue stirring to prevent the egg from sticking to the bottom of the pan, cooking until most of the moisture has evaporated and the eggs are fluffy. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the eggs dry.
Step 7
Push the cooked eggs to one side of the pan. In the cleared space, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and let it heat up slightly. Once the aroma of the oyster sauce is released, add the prepared chives and stir-fry them together with the eggs.
Step 8
Stir-fry the chives just until they are slightly wilted. Chives can become mushy and lose their vibrant color if overcooked, so it’s important to cook them quickly over high heat for a short time. The key is to maintain the fresh aroma and crisp texture of the chives.
