Savory-Spicy Scrambled Eggs
Savory scrambled eggs with green onions and spicy Kyoto Kick Chili Crisp
Scrambled Eggs with Green Onion and Chili Crisp Oil is a delicious, spicy twist on the classic scrambled eggs. This recipe brings together the soft, fluffy texture of scrambled eggs with the fresh bite of green onions and the fiery, umami-packed punch of chili crisp oil. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick dinner.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons Sumo Spice chili crisp (adjusted for heat preference)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter for cooking
- Extra green onions and chili crisp for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prep the Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well mixed and slightly frothy. This introduces air into the eggs, making them fluffier.
2. Heat the Oil and Chili Crisp
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the vegetable oil or butter. Once the oil is hot or the butter has melted and started to bubble, add the 1-2 tablespoons of Sumo Spice chili crisp. Spread the chili crisp over the pan into a thin layer.
3. Cook the Eggs:
- Let the chili crisp get warm, then pour in the eggs. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set at the edges. With a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan if necessary to let the uncooked eggs flow to the bottom. Repeat this process, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat. The chili crisp will natural infuse with the eggs, there is no need to stir the eggs and chili crisp together. Avoid over-stirring the eggs to maintain some texture.
4. Add the Green Onions:
- Just before the eggs are fully set, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the eggs. Gently fold them into the eggs, allowing them to finish cooking together. The heat will soften the onions just enough while keeping their fresh taste.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and chili crisp. Serve immediately while hot.
This dish pairs wonderfully with toasted bread to soak up the eggs and chili oil, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The combination of creamy eggs, fresh onions, and the spicy, crunchy elements of the chili crisp oil makes for a simple yet unforgettable meal. Enjoy!
