Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 large bell pepper, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 green onion, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Seasoning & Oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
Instructions
- Beat eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then beat the mixture thoroughly until well combined to ensure even cooking.
- Scramble eggs: Heat half of the vegetable oil (1/2 tablespoon) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently to scramble them until they are softly cooked but not dry. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the thinly sliced onion, sliced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just softened but still retain some crunch.
- Stir-fry with eggs: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle the light soy sauce evenly over the mixture, then stir-fry everything together for 1 to 2 minutes so the flavors meld and the ingredients are heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Stir in the chopped green onion, season with more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.

- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or snap peas to increase the nutritional value.
