How to Make Stir-Fried Shepherd's Purse with Eggs

Stir-fried shepherd's purse with eggs is a simple, nutritious dish celebrated for its fresh, earthy flavors. Here’s a step-by-step guide to perfecting it.

Ingredients: 200g fresh shepherd’s purse, 3 eggs, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt, and a pinch of sugar (optional).

Steps:

1. Prepare the greens: Rinse shepherd’s purse thoroughly, trim roots, and chop finely. Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to remove bitterness, then drain and squeeze out excess water.

2. Beat the eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk lightly.

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

4. Sauté the greens: In the same wok, add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the chopped shepherd’s purse, sprinkle with salt and a pinch of sugar (to enhance sweetness), and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.

5. Combine: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, mix gently with the greens, and cook for another 30 seconds. Serve hot.

Tips: For extra flavor, a dash of sesame oil or light soy sauce can be added before serving. Enjoy this vibrant, healthy dish as a side or with rice!
