In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs (per serving).

In a small frying pan (about 8 inches wide) set over low-medium heat, add oil. Pour your egg mixture into the pan and let it bubble to create a solid base. Quickly insert wooden chopsticks positioned at a 45-degree angle from each other along the edges of the pan. Then slowly bring chopsticks toward the center.

Hold the wooden chopstick in the center, only rotating the pan so your egg becomes a tornado shape.
