Ingredients- 5 imitation crab sticks (kani kama)
- 4 fresh eggs
- 1/4 stalk fresh green onion (scallion)
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 0.5 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1/4 stalk of fresh green onion. You can use both the white and green parts.
Step 2
Finely mince the prepared green onion. Chopping it very small will make it easier for children to eat. This minced onion will add a subtle aroma when sautéed later.
Step 3
In a clean bowl, crack the 4 fresh eggs. Whisk them gently until the yolks and whites are well combined. Removing the chalazae (the white, rope-like bits) will result in a smoother scrambled egg texture.
Step 4
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced green onion and sauté slowly until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. This step creates ‘green onion oil,’ infusing the oil with the onion’s aromatic flavor.
Step 5
Once the green onion oil is fragrant, add the 5 imitation crab sticks, shredded or cut into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm), to the pan. Stir-fry them together with the green onion for about 1 minute, allowing the crab sticks to absorb the flavors.
Step 6
When the crab sticks are partially cooked, pour the beaten eggs evenly over the pan. As the eggs begin to set, gently stir and scramble them with chopsticks or a spatula to create soft, fluffy curds. Be careful not to cook over high heat, as this can make the eggs tough.
Step 7
When the eggs are about 70-80% cooked, add 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce along the edge of the pan. The savory depth of the oyster sauce will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 8
Finally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the stir-fry. The nutty aroma of the sesame oil will further elevate the dish’s taste.
Step 9
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over the top. This completes your delicious crab stick and egg stir-fry! Give it one final mix to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Step 10
Serve hot over rice or plate it attractively as a side dish for your children. They are sure to love the soft, savory, and comforting flavor!
