Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 stalks scallions (green onions)
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce (optional for mild seasoning)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon cooking spray or additional butter
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and whites of the scallions to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and allow them to sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds.
Step 6
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir and fold the eggs to create soft, fluffy curds, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Avoid overcooking.
Step 7
Drizzle in the sesame oil and optional low-sodium soy sauce, stirring gently to combine. Add the ground black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with the green tops of the scallions and optional parsley or cilantro.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a standalone dish or alongside cooked rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
