instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing your vegetables. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin matchsticks. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and slice it into strips. Chop the green onion into small pieces.

    2

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Set aside.

    3

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the carrot and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

    4

    Add the green onion to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.

    5

    Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, ensuring to cover the vegetables evenly. Stir gently and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.

    6

    Season with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mix everything together and cook for another minute to combine the flavors.

    7

    Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or as a side dish.

How to be creative
  • Add protein by including slices of chicken or tofu.
  • Incorporate different vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms for variety.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
Important Tips
  • Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the vegetables to retain their crunch.
  • Avoid overcooking the eggs to maintain their fluffy texture.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste; adding more soy sauce can enhance the umami flavor.
