Prep Time:
20 mins
Total Time:
20 mins
Servings:
4 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each
Ingredients
-
3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
-
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 12-ounce bag shredded mixed vegetables, such as "rainbow salad" or "broccoli slaw"
-
2 cups mung bean sprouts
-
1 bunch scallions, sliced, divided
-
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, (see Shopping Tip)
Directions
1.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs; cook, stirring gently, until set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
2.
Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1 minute. Add shredded vegetables, bean sprouts, half the sliced scallions, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved eggs and hoisin; cook, uncovered, stirring and breaking up the scrambled eggs, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining scallions and remove from the heat.
Tip:
Shopping tip: Hoisin sauce is a dark brown, thick, spicy-sweet sauce made from soybeans and a complex mix of spices. Look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket and in Asian markets.
