Cantonese Scrambled Eggs are a popular item in many cafés in Hong Kong and in the home kitchens of Cantonese people. The dish is known for its delicate eggs and smooth, glossy appearance. It was invented because of the local love of stir-frying in woks and the combination of high heat, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. This scrambled eggs recipe uses miso and sesame oil to give it a mild flavour and savoury taste.
To cook this dish, you will need several basic ingredients and four eggs. The removal of the wok from the fire after each stir allows one to manage heat more effectively and make curds more tender instead of rubbery. This dish can be used as breakfast and dinner at any time of the year.
