Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons canola or peanut oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon shredded fresh ginger

  • 1 fresh red chile pepper, sliced

  • 2 large eggs

  • 10-12 ounces Chinese mustard greens, chopped (about 1 bunch)

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or oyster sauce, plus more to taste

  • 1 pinch ground white pepper

  • Crispy fried baby anchovies or bonito flakes for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottom carbon-steel wok or large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add oil, followed by garlic, ginger and chile. Cook, stirring, until the garlic starts looking golden brown on the edges, about 1 minute.

  2. Crack eggs into the pan and scramble for a few seconds. Add mustard greens and stir to combine with the egg mixture. Season with fish (or oyster) sauce and pepper and cook just to wilt the greens, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with crispy fried baby anchovies (or bonito flakes), if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
