Main Ingredients- 1 bunch fresh chives (approx. 100g)
- 4 fresh eggs
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 bowls warm cooked rice
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil (for nutty aroma)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil (for nutty aroma)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the chives thoroughly, pat them dry, and chop them into bite-sized pieces about 3-4 cm long. In a separate bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them well with chopsticks until the yolks and whites are fully combined, creating a smooth egg mixture.
Step 2
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the pan is hot, pour in the beaten egg mixture. Use chopsticks to stir the eggs as they cook, breaking them up into fluffy, scrambled pieces.
Step 3
When the eggs are about 70-80% cooked, add the chopped chives and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the pan. Stir-fry everything together quickly over high heat to keep the chives crisp. Cook for about 1 minute until the chives are just wilted but still vibrant.
Step 4
Once all the ingredients are well combined and stir-fried, immediately turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and give it one final toss. This adds a wonderful nutty fragrance to your chive and egg stir-fry. Adding sesame oil off the heat preserves its aroma.
Step 5
Serve a bowl of warm rice in a dish. Top generously with the freshly made chive and egg stir-fry. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some shredded seaweed (gim) or sesame seeds on top. Enjoy your delicious and satisfying chive and egg rice bowl!
