Ingredients

3 large
Zucchini
1 medium
Cooking oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Yellow cooking wine (optional)
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Prepare the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and the cooking wine. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully blended and slightly frothy.
2
Slice the Zucchini
Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Cut it into thin, even slices, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
3
Scramble the Eggs
Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it is moderately hot. Add half of the oil, pour in the egg mixture, and scramble quickly until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
4
Stir-Fry Zucchini
Add the remaining oil to the pan. Toss in the zucchini slices and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they become tender but still slightly crisp.
5
Combine and Serve
Return the cooked eggs to the pan with the zucchini. Toss everything together gently for a final minute to mix the flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot.
