Super easy to make, ready in just 10 minutes, and it costs less than $8 total. First, let's prep all the ingredients. Grab 250 grams fresh shiitake mushrooms. Pick plump ones with curled edges, they taste the freshest. Rinse them clean, snap off the tough stems, those are chewy and ruin the texture. Slice them into thin pieces around 3 to 4 millimeters thick. Don't cut them too thick or they won't soak up flavor, and don't slice too thin or they'll shrink up while cooking. Set them aside on a plate. Get one bell pepper, around 80 grams. Cut off both ends, split it in half, scoop out all the seeds and white pith to cut down the sharp heat and keep the taste fresh and light. Shred it finely, thin strips cook fast and look gorgeous on the plate. Put it aside too. Crack three eggs, roughly 150 grams total, into a bowl. Whisk them really well until yolks and whites blend completely and get a little frothy. That's how you get fluffy, soft scrambled eggs. All ingredients prepped, let's start cooking. Bring a pot of water to a boil, toss in the mushroom slices and blanch them for about 5 minutes, then drain well. Blanching is so important, it gets rid of earthy taste, excess oxalic acid and impurities, precooks the mushrooms so they won't release extra water while stir-frying, keeping them silky tender. Heat 20 grams cooking oil in the pan till medium hot, pour in the egg mixture. Let the bottom set slightly first, then stir quickly with chopsticks into big soft egg chunks. Cook just until done, then scoop them out right away. Do not overcook them. Add another 10 grams oil into the pan, toss in 15 grams minced garlic and 8 grams chili peppers, sauté on low heat to bring out the fragrant aroma. Once the garlic smells good, add in the blanched mushrooms and stir-fry on medium heat a few times. Now season it up. Add 2 grams salt, 10 grams light soy sauce for savory flavor and 3 grams dark soy sauce for nice color. Throw in the bell pepper strips and the precooked eggs we set aside earlier. Turn up the heat and keep stir-frying gently to mix everything evenly. Hey guys, making these easy home-cooked recipes takes time and effort.
