Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Step 2
Wash and finely chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green parts.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the white parts of the green onions and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them cook for a few seconds without stirring, allowing the bottom to set slightly.
Step 5
As the eggs begin to set around the edges, use a spatula to gently stir and fold the eggs. Continue gently stirring occasionally, allowing larger folds to form.
Step 6
When the eggs are about three-quarters cooked, add the sesame oil and most of the green parts of the green onions (reserving a few for garnish) and continue to cook until the eggs are cooked through and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried eggs to a serving plate. Garnish with the remaining green onion greens.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a stand-alone dish or as a component of a larger meal.
