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

Chive stir-fry with eggs is a quick, delicious, and nutritious dish loved for its vibrant color and umami-rich flavor. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to perfect it every time.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh chives (yellow chives work best), washed and cut into 3cm sections

- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt to taste

- A pinch of white pepper (optional)

Steps:

1. Prep the eggs: Beat the eggs in a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and white pepper for extra flavor. Set aside.

2. Stir-fry the eggs: Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until lightly set but still slightly moist. Remove and set aside.

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

4. Combine: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok. Mix gently with the chives, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with a pinch more salt if needed. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds.

Serving Tip: Serve hot with steamed rice or as a side dish. For a richer taste, a dash of sesame oil can be added before serving. This versatile dish takes under 10 minutes to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights!
