Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack and whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and white pepper to season. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and ginger, slice the green onion into thin rounds, and dice the bell pepper. Peel and julienne the carrot into thin matchsticks. Cut broccoli into small florets.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create a stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour in the whisked eggs. Gently scramble the eggs until they are just set and slightly fluffy. Remove cooked eggs from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the garlic and ginger, stirring quickly until aromatic (about 30 seconds).

Step 6

Add the carrot and broccoli to the skillet, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Next, add the bell pepper and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and add the stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly with the sauce, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Sprinkle sliced green onions over the stir fry as a garnish and serve immediately. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles.
