The method

Step by step

1
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
About 1 min
2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water for the sauce.
About 1 min
3
Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
About 1 min
4
Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and scramble, breaking it into large pieces, until just set but still soft, about 1-2 minutes.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Do not overcook the eggs; they will cook more later.
5
Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
6
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet.
7
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
8
Add the cut green onions to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
About 3 min
9
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet with the green onions.
10
Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the eggs and green onions.
Cook’s note: Stir the sauce again right before adding, as cornstarch can settle.
11
Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
About 2 min
12
Serve immediately, perhaps over steamed rice.
