Simple Homemade Side: Delicious Stir-Fried Eggs and Chives with Oyster Sauce
Whip it up in a flash with just oyster sauce! This quick and easy stir-fried egg and chive dish is perfect for a busy day.
Main Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- A generous amount of fresh chives (approx. 50-70g)
- A small piece of red chili (for color and a hint of spice, optional)
Seasoning- 1.5 Tbsp Oyster Sauce (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt (to adjust seasoning, optional)
- 1.5 Tbsp Oyster Sauce (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt (to adjust seasoning, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack 3 fresh eggs into a clean bowl and whisk them gently until well combined. Trim the chives, wash them thoroughly under running water, and then cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long. Thinly slice the red chili for a vibrant color and a subtle kick. (Only add chili if you prefer a bit of heat.)
Step 2
Heat about 1.5 tablespoons of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs. Using chopsticks or a spatula, gently scramble the eggs until they are just cooked and form soft curds. Be careful not to overcook them to avoid a dry texture.
Step 3
When the eggs are about 70-80% cooked and still slightly moist, add the prepared chives and sliced red chili to the pan. Drizzle 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan. The heat will help release the oyster sauce’s rich flavor, making the dish more aromatic. If you find it’s not salty enough, add a tiny pinch of salt.
Step 4
Stir-fry everything together quickly, ‘whi-ri-yik~’ (a sound suggesting rapid stir-frying), until the ingredients are well combined. Once the chives are slightly wilted and mixed with the eggs, your delicious stir-fried eggs and chives are ready! Serve it over hot rice or enjoy it as a side dish for a wonderful meal.
