Ingredients

400 g Chinese chives washed and chopped
6 eggs
1 tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
1/4 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp lard or cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil

Instructions

Prepare the Chives:

Start by washing and chopping the Chinese chives.

Season the Eggs:

In a bowl, beat 5 eggs until they're well combined. Add the bold flavors of black pepper powder, chicken bouillon powder, a dash of vinegar, and mix it all together with chopsticks.

Stir-Fry the Chives:

Heat an empty pan over medium heat, and add the chopped chives.
Sprinkle a little salt over the chives in the pan and continue to stir-fry until they become tender yet still retain their vibrant green color.
Combine and Mix: Once the chives are cooked to perfection, add them to the seasoned egg mixture. Gently mix the two together, allowing the flavors to harmonize.

Melt Lard (or Use Cooking Oil) and Cook the Scrambled Eggs:

In a separate pan, melt the lard or heat your chosen cooking oil. Once the fat is hot, pour in the egg and chive mixture. Stir slowly and patiently, watching as the eggs transform into a luscious, creamy texture.
Transfer the finished Chive Scrambled Eggs to a plate.
