Instructions

Step 1
Cut scallions into small garnish pieces, set aside ~

Step 2
Cut onion into thick strips (thick slices) for a crispier texture [Little Tip~] ● When cutting onions, you don't need to wear goggles as long as your knife is sharp enough~! ● Eating onions raw allows you to intake more phytochemicals and vitamin C; if cooking them, a 30-second quick stir-fry will retain more nutrients

Step 3
Wash the eggs clean first, add a small amount of salt, and beat into a uniform egg mixture, set aside [Little Tip~] ● Before cracking the eggs, be sure to clean the eggshells thoroughly to avoid ingesting bacteria (Salmonella)~! ● Crack the eggs right before stir-frying, and incorporate air into the egg mixture during the beating process. This way, the stir-fried eggs will be fluffy, good-looking and delicious~!

Step 4
Heat the pan first, then add 15ml of camellia oil. Wait for about 15-20 seconds (approximate time is fine), then pour the egg mixture from a height into the camellia oil. Wait until the egg mixture starts to set slightly, then gently separate it with chopsticks into bite-sized scrambled eggs. At this point, add the onion and scallions, and stir-fry evenly for 30 seconds. Sprinkle a small amount of salt and black pepper before taking off the heat to enhance the aroma. The delicious, quick and nutritious [Stir-fried Egg with Onion] is now ready, please enjoy~

Step 5
[Little Tip~] Salt has already been added to the egg mixture. The purpose of adding salt before taking the dish off the heat is to give the onions a slight salty taste, which can better bring out the natural sweetness of the onions~ (so control the amount of salt added at the end please~)

Step 6
In addition to vitamin C, onions are also rich in nutrients including dietary fiber, crude fiber, vitamin A, potassium, calcium and iron. ● An appropriate amount of oil can help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamin A, and make the crude fiber smoother and more palatable~!
