This egg and veggie stir-fry is a delightful mix of scrambled eggs and fresh vegetables, stir-fried together with soy sauce. It’s quick, simple, and perfect for serving over rice or noodles, offering a satisfying and protein-rich meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli)

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or sesame)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Prep the Veggies: Wash and chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  • Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. If using, add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for an additional minute.
  • Add the Eggs: Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the center. Allow the eggs to cook for a minute before gently scrambling them with the vegetables.
  • Finish with Soy Sauce: Once the eggs are fully cooked, drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture and stir everything together. Cook for another minute to let the flavors meld.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Key Prep Tips

  1. Use Fresh Vegetables: Opt for a mix of crunchy and colorful veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, and broccoli for a vibrant dish.
  2. Cook Eggs First: Scramble the eggs lightly in the pan and set aside before stir-frying the vegetables to keep textures distinct.
  3. High Heat Cooking: Use medium-high heat for a quick stir-fry that retains the veggies’ crispness.
  4. Flavor Boost: Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of garlic or ginger for a savory depth of flavor.

Suggested Variations

  • Add Protein: Include tofu, shrimp, or diced chicken for a more filling meal.
  • Grain Options: Serve over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete dish.
  • Spicy Twist: Add red pepper flakes, chili oil, or Sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Dietary Adjustments: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Main Dish: Enjoy as a light, protein-packed dinner or lunch.
  • Side Pairing: Serve with a small side of miso soup or a fresh cucumber salad.
  • Beverages: Pair with iced green tea, sparkling water with lemon, or a light white wine.
