How to Make Scrambled Eggs with Toon Sprouts

Scrambled eggs with toon sprouts, a beloved Chinese spring dish, combines the earthy aroma of toon sprouts with the richness of eggs. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe:

Ingredients: Fresh toon sprouts (200g), eggs (4), salt (1 tsp), cooking oil (2 tbsp), minced garlic (optional).

Steps:

1. Prepare the toon sprouts: Trim the tough bottom ends, wash thoroughly, and blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to reduce bitterness. Drain and chop finely.

2. Beat the eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until frothy. Mix in the chopped toon sprouts evenly.

3. Cook the dish: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, let it set slightly at the edges, then gently scramble with a spatula. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs tender.

4. Season and serve: Add minced garlic if desired, stir for another 10 seconds, and transfer to a plate. Enjoy hot with steamed rice!

Tips: For extra flavor, a dash of light soy sauce or sesame oil can be added before serving. This quick dish highlights the freshness of spring in every bite.
