  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

  • Optional: 1 cup cooked and diced protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)

    • Directions

  • Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove eggs from skillet and set aside.
