Ingredients
- 8 large Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs
- 1/2 cup bell peppers or anaheim peppers (, finely diced )
- 2 green onions (, finely chopped)
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/8 tsp white pepper powder
- 2 to 8 tablespoons vegetable oil ((*Footnote))
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))
- 1 tbsp soy sauce ((or tamari for gluten-free))
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
- 2 clove garlic (, chopped)
- Steamed rice
- Steamed vegetables
- Bean sprouts
Instructions
- 1
Whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl.
- 2
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the garlic. Stir fry a few times to release the fragrance.
- 3
Stir the sauce mixture again to completely dissolve the cornstarch. Pour it into the pan. Stir immediately until it forms a silky sauce that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Immediately transfer to a clean bowl. Set aside.
- 4
Beat the eggs in a large bowl using an immersion blender or fork until evenly blended. Add the peppers, green onions, salt, and white pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 5
Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat, and scoop about 1/3 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet to make a patty.
- 6
Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. You can use your spatula to shape the egg so it forms a round circle. If the egg starts to brown too fast, turn to lower heat. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture.
- 7
Serve the eggs hot over steamed rice and veggies, along with the brown sauce. Drizzle sauce on top while serving. The eggs will taste good enough even served without the sauce, as well.
