Ingredients

5 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
4 teaspoons water
2 cups Chinese chives/garlic chives (chopped)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and add the sugar, salt, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil and water. Beat the eggs for a good 30 seconds until you see a layer of small bubbles floating on the surface of the beaten eggs. Make the cornstarch slurry by dissolving the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Add the cornstarch slurry and mix in the chives until combined. Now you are ready to cook.
Heat a wok until it just starts to smoke, and then turn the heat down to medium low. Wait 10 seconds, and then add the oil. Coat the wok with oil using your spatula to swirl it around. The oil should be hot but not smoking when you add the egg mixture.
Once you pour the eggs into the wok, flip and stir them slowly with a spatula, being careful not to let the eggs brown or firm up too much. Once the eggs are just cooked, they’re ready. Serve!
