Quick Egg Stir-Fry with Peppers
Description
Quick Egg Stir-Fry with Peppers offers a straightforward combination of eggs and green peppers using Chinese cooking techniques. The eggs are beaten with Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil, and salt, then cooked until just set but still soft. Meanwhile, the peppers are dry-fried in a wok to blister and bring out their flavor without added oil. After cooking garlic and seasoning the peppers with soy sauce, salt, and a bit of sugar, the eggs and scallions are added back in to combine everything with a quick high-heat stir. This method preserves the eggs' tenderness and the peppers' slightly smoky character.
Serving this stir-fry as a standalone dish or alongside steamed rice can provide a balanced meal. The gentle heat from the green peppers and the aromatic notes of garlic, ginger, and Shaoxing wine make it appealing without being overwhelming. Its relatively quick preparation and simple ingredients allow easy customization by varying the peppers or adding other vegetables if desired.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 4 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces hot green pepper or your choice, de-seeded if desired and cut into bite-sized pieces, long
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce light
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- 1 scallion (chopped)
Instructions
- Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine, white pepper powder, sesame oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Heat a dry, clean wok over medium heat. Without adding any oil, dry fry the peppers for 3-5 minutes to blister and soften them. Transfer to a dish, and set aside.
- Increase the heat to high. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to coat the bottom of the wok. Immediately add the egg. Cook until the eggs are solid, yet still soft. Transfer to a dish (separate from the peppers).
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Cook the garlic for 20 seconds. Stir in the peppers. Immediately add the light soy sauce, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Stir and mix well.
- Quickly add the eggs, scallions, and 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine. Increase the heat to high, and mix everything well. It doesn’t need to cook further at this stage—just stir to incorporate and let the flavors meld. Serve.
