Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 2 eggs , beaten
  • 1 celtuce stem , sliced
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt , or to taste

Instructions

  • Add 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan and heat over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the beaten eggs and a pinch of salt. Cook until the bottom is set, then scramble the eggs with a spatula until the eggs are broken into smaller pieces and just cooked through. Transfer the eggs to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil and the garlic. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.
  • Add the celtuce. Cook and stir until the celtuce just starts to soften, 2 minutes or so.
  • Add back the cooked eggs and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to mix everything well. Turn to medium-low heat and taste the celtuce. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, if needed. Once done, immediately transfer everything to a serving plate.
  • Serve hot as a side dish.
