Stir Fried Garlic Scape with Eggs (蒜苔炒鸡蛋)
Report
Crisp stir fried garlic scapes with fluffy eggs in a rich, fragrant brown sauce with a hint of sweetness. This recipe shares a super quick and easy way to consume a large amount of garlic scapes. {Vegetarian, Gluten-Free Adaptable}To make the dish gluten-free, use a gluten-free oyster sauce such as the LKK green label.

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 onion. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.
- Add the garlic scapes. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, until it starts to soften if using Asian garlic scapes. Cook for a longer time if using US garlic scapess (*Footnote 1). 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. You can cook it longer for a more tender texture, if you prefer.
- 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 as a main dish or as a side dish.
Notes
- If using American garlic scapes, you will need a much longer cooking time because their skin is quite thick and tough. My favorite way to cook with American garlic scapes is to splash a tablespoon of Shaoxing wine onto them during the stir fry. The wine will evaporate and lightly steam the garlic scapes, so they cook faster. It also adds a nice aroma to the dish. If you do not wish to use Shaoxing wine, add a splash of broth (chicken or vegetable broth), or a splash of water.
