Vegetable scrambled eggs. Should you put the eggs first or the vegetables first? When should you put the eggs in vegetable scrambled eggs?

As we all know, eggs are a popular delicacy. They are rich in nutrients, delicious, and can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be fried with many other vegetables, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, etc. So when making scrambled eggs with vegetables, should we put the eggs or the vegetables first? Let's take a closer look!

Should I put the eggs or the vegetables first when scrambled eggs with vegetables?

It depends on the individual's method. Different methods will have different tastes:

1. Put the eggs and vegetables into the pot at the same time

The specific method is to chop or dice the vegetables and put them in a bowl, beat the eggs, add chopped green onions or shredded ginger, add salt, and stir well. Heat the oil in a pan, pour in the vegetable and egg mixture, gently turn the pan to spread it out, and stir-fry with a spatula when the egg mixture is basically solidified, and cook until the egg mixture is completely solidified and cooked.

Tips: Pay attention to using medium to high heat throughout the process, and stir-fry until the eggs are cooked through and there is no water vapor. Otherwise, if you stir-fry for too long, the vegetables will release water and affect the taste.

This method is suitable for vegetables that are easier to fry. Because of the egg liquid, the fried vegetables taste very crisp, tender and fresh, blending with the aroma of scrambled eggs, which is very fragrant.

The vegetables cooked in this way are distinct, tender and fragrant. You can also make vegetable omelets, which taste great.

In fact, this method is suitable for most vegetables, such as celery, water spinach stalks, chrysanthemum, leeks, Chinese cabbage, etc. Almost all common vegetables are applicable because they are fresh and tender, and mixed with the fragrance of eggs. Children who usually don’t like to eat vegetables can also eat a plate of them. If you have children at home, I really recommend trying this method.

2. Fry the eggs first, then stir-fry the vegetables

The specific method is to fry the eggs until they are cooked and serve. Then, stir-fry the vegetables again. When the vegetables are cooked, pour in the fried eggs, add seasonings and stir-fry until they are well-flavored. Then, turn off the heat and serve.

This method is suitable for all vegetables, but it is most suitable for stews, or vegetables that are not easy to fry or need time to fry to get the aroma. For example, scrambled eggs with tomatoes is the most classic representative of this method. There are also scrambled eggs with loofah, scrambled eggs with garlic moss, scrambled eggs with bell peppers, scrambled eggs with spinach, etc. Tomatoes need to be fried to get the juice, loofah needs to be fried first, garlic moss needs to be fried for a while to remove the spicy taste, and bell peppers need to be fried for a while to remove the green taste because of their thick and dense skin...

The eggs and vegetables fried in this way are clearly distinct.

3. Fry the vegetables first, then add the eggs and fry together

The specific method is to first put the vegetables into the pan and fry until cooked, add seasonings, then pour in the egg liquid, wait until most of the egg liquid is solidified, stir-fry a few times to make it evenly flavored, turn off the heat and serve.

The dishes cooked using this method are somewhere in between the above two, with large chunks of eggs and some vegetables wrapped in eggs.

What vegetables are delicious when fried with eggs

In addition to frying eggs with spinach, eggs can also be fried with other ingredients. For example, the classic one is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and there are also scrambled eggs with green peppers, scrambled eggs with leeks, scrambled eggs with chives, etc. The methods are similar. Different flavors appear when eggs are paired with different ingredients.

At home, many people fry eggs by beating them in a bowl and adding a little salt. Some people don't. I think if you add salt when frying, the eggs will be salty, so I usually don't add it. Some people put a little green onion in the egg liquid to make it taste better, and it will be very fragrant when you eat it.

In restaurants, chefs usually pour a lot of oil into the pan when making scrambled eggs. This way, the eggs will be very tender. After frying, pour the oil back into the oil pan.

How to make scrambled eggs with vegetables

Fried Eggs with Peppers

Ingredients: 3 eggs, 200 grams of green pepper,

Accessories: 1 clove of garlic, 1 garlic sprout.

Seasoning: salt, chicken essence, and cooking wine in appropriate amounts.

Preparation method:

1. Beat the eggs into a bowl and stir with a whisk. Wash the green pepper and cut into strips or slices. Wash the garlic sprouts and cut into sections. Crush the garlic and chop it.

2. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is warm, pour in the egg liquid. Stir the egg liquid with a spatula. After the egg liquid solidifies into an egg ball, scoop it out and place it on a plate for later use.

3. Start frying the green peppers. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add minced garlic, green peppers, garlic sprouts, salt and cooking wine and start frying.

4. When the green pepper and garlic sprouts are almost cooked, pour in the fried egg balls and stir-fry. Finally, add chicken essence to season.

Tips:

1. Add a tablespoon of water when stirring the egg liquid, so that the fried egg balls will be smoother and more refreshing.

2. After the egg balls are fried, take them out first, and then add the egg balls after the green peppers are cooked. If you put the egg balls in too early and fry them for too long, the egg balls will easily become overcooked and break, affecting the taste.
