Thai Cucumber and Egg Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by frying garlic until fragrant and golden, then adding eggs to scramble lightly. Fresh cucumber pieces are introduced along with seasoning sauces and sugar, blending to coat the ingredients evenly. The quick stir-fry retains the cucumber’s color and freshness, with cooking time adjusted to preferred crunchiness.
The dish delivers a combination of soft egg texture contrasting with cool cucumber and sweet-savory seasoning. It can be served hot from the pan as a simple side or light main, making use of common pantry sauces to achieve a familiar Southeast Asian flavor profile.
The choice between crunchier or softer cucumbers depends on personal texture preference. Adjusting heat during cooking preserves the garlic’s aroma without burning. Balancing seasoning quantities lets the cook tailor sweetness and saltiness.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 egg
- 3 cups cucumber chopped
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain Sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 5 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oil in a non-stick wok or pan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic until it’s golden and fragrant.
- Crack two eggs into the pan, stirring to blend them with the fragrant garlic.
- Then, add the remaining ingredients: cucumber slices, oyster sauce, golden mountain sauce, sugar, and water.
- Stir everything together well. For a crunchier bite, briefly stir-fry the cucumber. If you prefer a softer texture, stir-fry until soft to your taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust stir-frying time to control cucumber texture—short for crunchier, longer for softer.
- Cook garlic on medium-high heat to develop flavor without burning.
- Season to taste by balancing sweetness and savory sauces according to preference.
