Ingredients

• 1-2 tbsp oil/butter
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 4 eggs
• 1 tbsp oil/butter (for stir fry)
• 6 to 7 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 green chilli, chopped
• 2 spring onions, chopped (separate whites and greens)
• 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 tbsp chicken powder (I used one Maggi chicken cube. You can use chicken broth cube or similar)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• Salt to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Scramble the eggs
Heat oil/butter in a pan on medium flame and add sesame seeds. Once they begin to crackle, add the eggs and scramble them until just cooked. Remove and keep aside.

Step 2: Prepare the base
In the same pan, add a little more oil. Add garlic, green chillies and the white part of spring onions. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the cabbage
Add the shredded cabbage and cook on high flame. Keep tossing and stirring to keep it slightly crunchy and not soggy.

Step 4: Season the stir fry
Add chicken powder, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix well so the cabbage absorbs all the flavours. Taste check and add salt only if required.

Step 5: Combine everything
Add the scrambled eggs back into the pan. Toss everything together and cook for about a minute.

Step 6: Finish and serve
Add the green part of spring onions, give it a final mix, and serve hot.

Tips for Best Results

• Avoid overcooking the eggs before adding them back
• Adjust sauces based on your taste preference
