A quick and easy stir-fry featuring your kids’ favorites: imitation crab, enoki mushrooms, and eggs! This simple dish is perfect as a side for children’s meals. It’s incredibly simple to make and tastes wonderful.
Main Ingredients
- Imitation crab sticks (or surimi) 200g
- 1 medium onion
- 1 packet enoki mushrooms (approx. 100g)
- 3 fresh eggs
Seasoning & Others
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (or cooking oil)
- 1/2 Tbsp salt (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (or cooking oil)
- 1/2 Tbsp salt (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the imitation crab sticks by shredding or cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the medium onion into strips that are not too thin, as this will add a pleasant texture to the stir-fry.
Step 2
Gently rinse the enoki mushrooms under running water. Trim off the base or separate the clustered stems. You can typically cut the bunch in half or into thirds for easier handling in the pan.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack the 3 fresh eggs. Remove the chalazae (the white, stringy bits) and whisk the eggs gently with a fork or whisk until just combined. Over-whisking can make the eggs tough, so aim for a smooth, unseparated yolk and white mixture.
Step 4
Now, let’s stir-fry! Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions first and sauté them. Adding a pinch of salt at this stage helps bring out the sweetness of the onions. Once the onions begin to turn translucent, add the prepared imitation crab sticks and stir-fry together for about 1 minute. Lightly sautéing the imitation crab helps to enhance its savory flavor.
Step 5
To the pan with the onions and imitation crab, add the cut enoki mushrooms. Stir gently just to combine the ingredients. Then, pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the entire pan. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the eggs from burning. Sprinkle another pinch of salt over the eggs and a dash of pepper. As the eggs begin to set, gently stir and scramble them with a spatula or chopsticks until cooked through.
Step 6
Once the eggs are fully cooked and have a soft, scrambled texture, your delicious Imitation Crab, Enoki Mushroom, and Egg Stir-Fry is ready! For picky eaters, here’s a tip: finely chop the onions and enoki mushrooms before stir-frying. When mixed with the eggs, the vegetables will be less noticeable, making it easier for children to enjoy this dish without complaint. Enjoy your meal!
