Introduction
This is a classic Chinese-style stir-fry recipe that can be made in just 10 minutes, combining fluffy, tender eggs with plenty of garlic chives. It is a nutritious, energy-packed dish that is perfect for a side dish, bento boxes, or as an accompaniment to drinks.
Step 1
Prepare the garlic chives. Trim off any dry tips, then cut the firm stems into 1–1.5cm pieces and the leaves into 3–4cm pieces.
Step 2
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk. Add the chicken bouillon powder, sugar, soy sauce, and water, mixing well.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Add the garlic chive stems, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for about 40 seconds until vibrant.
Step 4
Add the garlic chive leaves, lightly sprinkle with more salt and pepper, and stir-fry quickly for 30 seconds until wilted, then turn off the heat.
Step 5
Spread the chives evenly across the pan and pour in the egg mixture. Keeping the heat off, gently stir for about 30 seconds using residual heat to ensure the bouillon powder is fully dissolved.

Important Notes
💡 Adding a little water to the egg mixture prevents the proteins from coagulating too quickly, keeping them fluffy and soft even after cooling down.
🔥 Garlic chives have different cooking times for stems and leaves; adding them at different stages ensures both reach the perfect, crisp-tender texture.
⚠️ Turning off the heat before adding the egg mixture prevents the eggs from setting too rapidly and helps the seasonings dissolve evenly.
🍳 When finishing over high heat, do not stir too finely; instead, use large circular motions from the outside in to incorporate air and create beautiful soft-scrambled eggs.
