Ingredients

4 tablespoon oil more or less to your liking
4 eggs
1 tablespoon spring onion green parts, finely chopped
1 pinch salt
1 cup onion chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper chopped

Sauce

1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce

Instructions

Frying the Eggs
- Whisk together the eggs, salt, and spring onions.
- Heat two tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, then add the egg mixture. Cook until firm, then break it into small pieces and set aside.
Frying the onions and bell pepper: Add two tablespoons of oil, onions, and bell pepper to the pan over medium heat and cook until cooked through but crunchy.
Mixing Everything Together: Lower the heat to low-medium, then add all the eggs and sauce to the pan. Mix everything well and serve.

Notes

Since eggs and the sauce with cornstarch can be sticky, I recommend using a non-stick pan for better cooking results.
The cornstarch tends to settle at the bottom of the sauce once mixed, so be sure to mix the sauce well before pouring it into the pan.
Lower the heat in step three, as the cornstarch can form lumps if the heat is too high. Keeping it on low heat ensures that the sauce cooks evenly.
You can add prawns, sausage, or ham to boost the protein in this dish and cater to your needs. Fry these ingredients separately and mix them in during step three.
