Hello everyone, it’s Super Power! Today, I made a delightful stir-fried dish with chives and eggs. As the name suggests, it’s a simple dish made by stir-frying chives and eggs together. It’s a popular dish in Chinese cuisine, known as 韭菜炒鸡蛋 (Jiǔcài chǎo jīdàn). It’s incredibly simple yet packed with a subtle, savory flavor that makes it a must-try if you love chives and eggs! Let’s get started with how to make this wonderful Chive and Egg Stir-Fry.
Ingredients- 10 stalks of fresh chives
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Cooking oil, for stir-frying
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
This recipe is for one serving. Please prepare 2 large eggs and about 10 stalks of fresh chives. Adjust the amount of chives according to your preference; too much might overpower the delicate egg flavor.
Step 2
Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl. Using a fork or whisk, gently beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Do not add salt at this stage.
Step 3
Wash the chives thoroughly and pat them completely dry. Trim off any tough ends, then cut the chives into approximately 2 cm (about 1 inch) lengths. Cutting them too finely can cause them to break apart during stir-frying.
Step 4
Place the cut chives into the bowl with the beaten eggs. Now, add a pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon, or to your taste) to the egg mixture. Gently mix the chives and the seasoned egg mixture together. Seasoning the chives beforehand enhances their flavor when stir-fried.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a generous amount of cooking oil. Allowing the pan to preheat properly will help achieve a better texture and flavor.
Step 6
Pour the chive and egg mixture into the preheated pan. Let it cook undisturbed for a moment until the edges begin to set. Then, using a spatula or chopsticks, gently scramble the mixture. Continue to stir and cook until the eggs are softly set and beautifully integrated with the chives. Ensure the eggs are cooked through but still tender.
Step 7
And there you have it! Your delicious Stir-Fried Chives and Eggs are ready. This dish is wonderful served over a bowl of hot steamed rice or enjoyed simply as a side dish. Savor the delightful combination of fragrant chives and tender eggs!
