Ingredients
- 6 piece organic eggs
- 150 g organic garlic chives (or chives plus 1 garlic clove), in 4 cm lengths
- 2 tbsp organic avocado oil
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 pinch ground white pepper
- 200 g organic pak choi, halved
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Step-by-step method
- Beat the eggs with half the soy sauce and the white pepper until just combined.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat until it shimmers. Pour in the eggs and let them set for 10 seconds, then fold into large soft curds. Tip onto a plate while still glossy.
- Add the remaining oil, then the pak choi, cut side down. Sear for 1 minute, turn and add a splash of water; cover for 1 minute.
- Push the pak choi aside, add the garlic chives and stir-fry for 30–40 seconds until bright green and just wilted.
- Return the eggs, add the rest of the soy sauce and the sesame oil, toss twice and serve at once, scattered with sesame seeds.
