Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 1 carrot (about 270g)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cheongyang chili pepper
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 pinch salt
- 4 tbsp cooking oil
- 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
- A pinch of ground black pepper
- A splash of mirin
Recipe 🍳
- Crack 3 eggs and add 0.5 pinch of salt, then beat well to make the egg mixture.
- Cut the carrot into thin matchsticks and slice the cheongyang chili pepper into thin rings.
- Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil in a pan, pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until soft, then transfer to a plate.
- Wipe the pan clean, add another 2 tbsp of oil, then sauté the minced garlic and chili pepper until fragrant.
- Add the carrot strips and stir-fry, then season with 1 tbsp of oyster sauce and a pinch of black pepper.
- Return the cooked eggs to the pan, drizzle a little mirin along the edge, and stir-fry quickly over high heat.
- Taste and if it's a bit bland, add another 0.5 tbsp of oyster sauce and toss briefly to finish.
- Beat the eggs and slice the carrot into thin strips.
- Scramble the eggs gently and set aside.
- Stir-fry garlic and chili until fragrant, then add the carrot strips and stir-fry.
- Season with oyster sauce and pepper, then add the eggs and mirin, tossing together to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- For even cooking and a crisp-tender texture, slice the carrot into uniformly thin matchsticks.
- The spiciness of cheongyang chili complements the sweetness of the carrot well; if you prefer less heat, reduce the amount or omit it.
- If you cook the eggs together with the vegetables from the beginning, they become tough. Always scramble them separately first and combine at the end.
