Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sweet bean sauce (甜面酱)
- 1 tablespoon spicy bean sauce (辣豆瓣酱)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
- ½ teaspoon dark soy sauce
- ½ to 1 cup water (we used ½ cup; add more if you like more sauce)
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil (such as vegetable, canola, or avocado oil; divided)
- 4 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 small tomato (1 small tomato = 4 ounces/100g)
- 1 red chili pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (1 tablespoon = about 3 cloves)
- 1 heaping cup julienned zucchini (or vegetable of your choice)
- salt (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 scallion (chopped)
- 2 portions Cooked noodles (or cooked rice, to serve)
Instructions
- First, prepare the sauce mixture. Combine the sweet bean sauce, spicy bean sauce, rice vinegar, Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and water.
- Have all your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Preheat your wok over medium-high heat until it’s lightly smoking, and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Then immediately add the beaten eggs. Scramble them until they’re just done (they should still be a little runny), and quickly remove from the wok.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok (still over medium-high heat), along with the tomato, chili (if using), garlic, and zucchini. Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the zucchini is tender.
- Add the eggs back to the wok, along with the prepared sauce mixture. Stir, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer over medium heat for 3-5 mins. Add salt to taste and stir in the sesame oil.
- Serve this mixture over your cooked noodles (alternatively, you can serve it over rice). Garnish with chopped scallion.
