Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 200 g garlic scapes, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces Fresh garlic scapes offer a more robust flavor.
  • 4 large eggs Adjust doneness to preference.
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce Use soy sauce for a vegetarian option.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For sautéing.
  • Salt and white pepper to taste

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the garlic scapes and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until they are tender-crisp and fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of white pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Push the sautéed garlic scapes to one side of the pan and crack in the eggs. Gently scramble them until they just begin to set.
  5. Once the eggs are slightly firm, pour the sauce mixture over the scapes and eggs. Stir everything together and continue to cook for another minute, ensuring the eggs are cooked through.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot over a bed of rice or with crusty bread.
