Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces long hot green peppers (or your choice, de-seeded if desired and cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 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.
