- 3-4 large eggs (serving for 1 or 2)
- 3 tbsp. cooking oil – the best option is some vegetable cooking oil plus animal fat for example lard.
- 2 Thai green peppers (smashed and cut into sections)
- 2 Thai red peppers (smashed and cut into sections)
- 6 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)

Instructions
- 1
Crack eggs into a bowl. Don't beat them.
- 2
Place your wok or frying pan over high heat. Add oil and let the oil heat up until it starts to shimmer and smoke slightly - this takes about 30 seconds.
- 3
Pour the egg mixture into the center of the hot oil. You'll hear a satisfying sizzle! Let it sit for just 2-3 seconds without touching it. Then turn over and separate each of them.

Drizzle light soy sauce, a very small pinch of salt. Then mix in scallion green parts. Add black vinegar along the edges of your pan. Mix well and serve well.
