How to Make Stir-Fried Eggs with Dried Radish

Stir-fried eggs with dried radish is a simple, savory, and budget-friendly dish popular in many Asian households. The combination of crispy dried radish and tender eggs creates a delightful texture contrast, while the umami flavor of the radish elevates the humble eggs. Here’s a detailed guide to making it.

### Ingredients

- 2 large eggs

- 50g dried radish (soaked in water for 10–15 minutes until soft, then drained and chopped)

- 1 green onion (finely chopped)

- 1 minced garlic clove (optional)

- 1 tsp soy sauce

- ½ tsp sesame oil

- Salt to taste

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

### Steps

1. Prepare the eggs: Beat the eggs in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and mix well.

2. Sauté the radish: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic (if using) and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the chopped dried radish and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes to crisp it up. Pour in soy sauce, mix, and remove from the wok.

3. Cook the eggs: Reheat the wok, add a little oil, and pour in the beaten eggs. Let them set slightly, then gently scramble until half-cooked.

4. Combine: Return the sautéed radish to the wok with the eggs. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.

5. Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and give a final stir. Serve hot with rice.

This dish is quick to prepare (under 15 minutes) and pairs perfectly with steamed rice. The dried radish adds a unique salty-sweet depth, making it a comforting meal any time of day. Enjoy!
