- 1 Tbsp sesame oil (approx. 15ml)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the 2 eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Gently whisk the eggs with a fork or a whisk until well combined. Adding a little salt at this stage enhances the flavor of the eggs. Wash the chives, pat them dry, and then chop them into bite-sized pieces, about 2cm long.
Step 2
Heat a little cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked egg mixture. Gently stir the eggs with chopsticks or a spatula to create scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking; aim for a soft, fluffy texture. Remove from heat while the eggs are still slightly moist for the best tenderness.
Step 3
Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside. In the same pan (add a touch more oil if needed), add the chopped chives. Stir-fry them quickly just until they begin to wilt slightly – you want to maintain their crispness. Add 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce and then gently fold in the pre-cooked scrambled eggs. Stir everything together just to combine.
Step 4
Finally, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Give it a final quick stir to incorporate everything. Your delicious Stir-Fried Eggs with Chives is ready! Turn off the heat and serve it beautifully on a plate. It makes for a satisfying meal when served with warm rice.
