How to Make Chive Stir-Fry with Eggs: A Complete Guide

Chive stir-fry with eggs is a quick, delicious, and nutritious Chinese dish loved for its fresh flavor and simple preparation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it perfectly.

### Ingredients

- 200g fresh chive stalks (trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces)

- 3 large eggs (beaten with a pinch of salt)

- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt to taste

- ½ tsp sugar (optional, to balance flavors)

- A dash of sesame oil (for aroma, optional)

### Steps

1. Prep the chives: Wash the chive stalks thoroughly and pat dry. Cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.

2. Cook the eggs: Heat ½ tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until lightly set. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry chives: Add the remaining oil to the wok. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 10 seconds). Toss in the chive stalks and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until they soften slightly but remain crisp.

4. Combine and season: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok. Add salt, sugar (if using), and a dash of sesame oil. Stir quickly for 30 seconds to let the flavors meld.

### Tips

- For extra umami, a splash of light soy sauce can be added with the salt.

- Avoid overcooking the chives to retain their fresh, grassy taste.

- Serve hot with steamed rice as a side dish.

This dish takes just 10 minutes to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights. Enjoy the harmony of tender chives and fluffy eggs in every bite!
