Chive and wood ear stir-fry with eggs is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful Chinese dish. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to perfect it every time.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh chives, washed and cut into 3cm segments

- 50g dried wood ear mushrooms, soaked until soft, then sliced thinly

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp light soy sauce, and a pinch of white pepper

Steps:

1. Prep the wood ear: Soak dried wood ears in warm water for 20 minutes until soft. Rinse, remove stems, and slice into thin strips. Drain well.

2. Cook the eggs: Heat 0.5 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs, scramble until set, then remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry aromatics: Add remaining oil to the wok. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

4. Combine ingredients: Add wood ear slices and stir-fry for 1 minute. Toss in chives, cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted but still crisp.

5. Season and finish: Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Add salt, sugar, soy sauce, and white pepper. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until everything is well-coated and heated through.
