Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • Assorted vegetables (e.g., cucumber, chayote, and tomato), chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 small shallots, finely chopped
  • 4 red bird’s eye chilies, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sweet soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon bottled chili sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Granulated sugar, to taste
  • Water, as needed
  • Cooking oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat a splash of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, and sliced bird’s eye chilies. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the shallots are translucent.

  2. Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the skillet and stir continuously to scramble them. Cook until the eggs start to firm up and form clumps, creating a scrambled texture.

  3. Add Vegetables: Incorporate the chopped vegetables into the skillet. Stir well to combine with the eggs. Add water to achieve your desired consistency for the sauce, adjusting the amount as needed.

  4. Season and Simmer: Season with salt, granulated sugar, sweet soy sauce, and bottled chili sauce. Stir to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. Let the mixture simmer until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened to your preference.

  5. Finish and Serve: Once the vegetables are cooked and the sauce has reached your desired thickness, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the dish hot, and enjoy your flavorful and spicy scrambled eggs with vegetables.

This vibrant and comforting dish combines scrambled eggs with a spicy, savory sauce and fresh vegetables, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
