Description
A bright and simple stir-fry with garlic scapes and eggs, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce (or regular oyster sauce)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 thumb ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced (reserve a small portion for garnish)
- 12 oz garlic scapes, sliced to 1″ pieces (yield 2 2/1 cup once cut)
Instructions
- Mix the oyster sauce and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the eggs. Let cook for a few seconds until the bottom sets. Scramble the eggs lightly until just cooked through, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil, ginger, and green onions. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.
- Add the garlic scapes. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Pour in the oyster sauce mixture and stir a few times to mix well. Taste a piece of garlic scape; it should be tender but still a bit crisp.
- Return the eggs to the pan. Stir and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer everything to a large serving plate.
- Garnish with the remaining fresh green onions, if using. Serve hot over rice.
Notes
Use high heat for best results and don’t overcook the eggs. Use uniformly cut garlic scapes for even cooking.
