CHINESE-STYLE STEAMED GREEN BEANS WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS – PERFECT BRUNCH DISH

A light and flavorful brunch featuring steamed green beans sautéed with garlic and ginger, finished with silky scrambled eggs flavored with soy and toasted sesame oil. Steaming preserves the beans’ vibrant color and crispness.

🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes

🍳 Cook Time: 30 minutes (including steaming)
🍽️ Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 400 g green beans, trimmed and cut into 4-5 cm segments
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger (almost paste)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Align green beans in bunches and cut into 4-5 cm segments. Steam beans at 120°C (250°F) for about 25 minutes until tender but still crisp. Alternatively, boil in salted water until tender, ensuring they keep their shape.
  2. Quickly beat eggs with soy sauce and set aside.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a large pan or wok. Add garlic and ginger, sauté briefly until fragrant.
  4. Add steamed green beans and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle in sesame oil and remove pan from heat.
  5. Pour beaten eggs over beans, stirring continuously until eggs set gently, coating the beans evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  6. Serve immediately with steamed rice or toasted bread.

💡 Tips

  • Steaming preserves green beans’ vibrant color and nutrients better than boiling.
  • Finely grate ginger for a smooth texture and balanced flavor.
  • Stir eggs gently for creamy, soft scramble.
  • Adjust soy and sesame oil amounts to taste.
