Finish with Broccoli and Pak Choi: Add the broccoli florets and pak choi to the mix. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until all the vegetables are tender-crisp and the eggs are fully cooked.

Season the Dish: Sprinkle in the granulated sugar, salt, and Masako seasoning. Stir everything well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
