Savory Garlic Scramble with Fried Eggs
A quick and aromatic stir-fry featuring tender garlic shoots and fluffy fried eggs, seasoned lightly with sesame oil for a rich, nutty finish.
Story
This dish celebrates the pungent sweetness of garlic shoots (also known as garlic scapes or green garlic). By frying the eggs separately first, they maintain a fluffy texture that pairs perfectly with the crisp-tender vegetables.
Ingredients
Garlic shoots (蒜苗)
200g, sliced into 4cm pieces
Eggs
3 large
Sesame oil
2 tbsp
Salt
1 pinch
Instructions
1
Fry the Eggs
Heat a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat. Once the oil is shimmering, pour in the beaten eggs. Let them set slightly, then scramble gently until they are just set but still moist. Remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
2
Stir-Fry the Garlic Shoots
If needed, add a tiny splash more oil to the pan. Toss in the sliced garlic shoots and stir-fry vigorously over medium-high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes until they turn bright green and soften slightly, but retain a bit of crunch.
3
Combine and Serve
Return the cooked eggs to the pan with the garlic shoots. Toss everything together quickly to combine and heat through. Season with a pinch of salt if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
