Chinese Scrambled Eggs with Char Siu (叉烧炒蛋)

May 26, 2022

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

chinese scrambled eggs with char siu - chinese bbq pork

Dinner at my Chinese household would often include vegetables and a protein. My parents and grandma would quickly prepare this Chinese scrambled eggs with char siu! Its one of my favorite nostalgic meals because its so simple and flavorful. I love the sweetness of the char siu aka chinese bbq pork (叉烧) paired with the savoriness of the egg and chives. Sometimes, we don’t have Char siu and we use the chinese chives only, which still tastes amazing and addicting! I hope this dish brings you nostalgia as much as it does for me.

Don’t forget to cook some white rice too! Its a perfect combination and now you have an authentic chinese meal.

WHERE CAN I GET CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)?

I made some fresh char siu from my family’s cookbook! You can shop here and cook authentic chinese recipes that remind you of home. If you’re not able to eat our famous char siu, you can also buy char siu at your nearest Chinese grocery store (like 99 ranch). If you don’t eat pork, you can sub with your favorite protein. For this dish, I tend to use leftover protein that I have in the fridge. Or you can make the shrimp version of this dish ◡̈ Mom’s shrimp and egg recipe can be found here.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR CHINESE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHAR SIU:

  • char siu (chinese bbq pork) or leftover protein
  • 3-4 stalks chinese chives, sliced
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • pinch of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

STEPS TO MAKE THE CHINESE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHAR SIU:

  1. Cut green onions and chives. Slice char siu in large or small cubes (up to you!). Set aside.
  2. Whisk 4 eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and sugar. Set aside beaten eggs.
  3. Heat pan on medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add char siu on the pan and fry for a minute or until you see the pieces golden.
  4. Immediately, add chinese chives and green onions to the pan. Then, add whisked eggs. Scramble and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. The dish should take no longer than 3 minutes to cook. The longer we cook, the eggs & char siu will be overcooked and dry. Hope you enjoy this dish with a hot bowl of white rice.

Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past sum Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past summer! So much has changed since then. I went to NY when I just graduated college and was introduced to the food scene for the first time ever thanks to my dear friend, Tina (hi girl!). Then, I went back this past summer and fell in love again with the food. I think New York does a modern take of asian food very well (doesn’t compromise the original flavors). Don’t get me wrong, there’s very tasty authentic food for really cheap too! One of my favorites is May Wah Fast Food in Chinatown where they serve delicious Taiwanese chicken rice for $6.50!

Check out my new blog post of the best places to eat in NY (in my opinion of course!!) [https://cookwithdana.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york/]

If you’re local to NY/visiting and tried one of the restaurants, send me a photo! I love to see and live vicariously through u.

We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-In We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-Inspired Dinner! We ate basil pork belly, braised soy sauce eggs, taro & pork belly (made by my dad!), shrimp toast, pork chops, and mango sticky rice for dessert. I made the dessert with my boyfriend, Theo and it took 10 minutes! We used @eatinnovasian Sticky White Rice mixed with sweetened coconut milk. Then, placed ripe yellow mango on top for a delicious thai-inspired dessert :) Swipe to see our food tasting reaction. #ad

Here’s a quick recipe on how I made the mango sticky rice - 

Ingredients:

- @EatInnovasian Sticky White Rice (half pack)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar (adjust to your own sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe yellow mango, sliced

Directions:

1. Heat up coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.
2. Heat up sticky white rice according to package directions.
3. Once the rice cools a little bit, add ¼ cup of the coconut mixture and mix together. Plate the rice with sliced yellow mango. Pour leftover sauce (as much as you’d like) on the mango and rice. 

Please note that this is not the same as thai mango sticky rice, but a great hack to get a quick, easy, & delicious thai inspired dessert :)

So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, Homecooked, is launching today! The book includes 15+ written recipes and video tutorials so you can watch exclusive, delicious, and calming video content all at once🤩! You can shop the cookbook in the link in my bio or go to cookwithdana.com/shop

All the recipes mean a lot to me because they were the foods that my parents made for me as a kid. As I've gotten older, I started appreciating these dishes more because they remind me of home! Most importantly, I wanted to pass down authentic recipes and share the meaning behind some Chinese traditions to my kids and virtual friends (hehe you!) 💜   If you grew up in a Cantonese household and you miss some 'homecooked' food, you have to make these recipes ◡̈  (I got Sai Yeung Choy Tong there for my canto gang!)

I've been cooking with my family this past year in the kitchen to taste test and film how to make their best dishes. We tweaked and MEASURED (IYKYK) all our recipes to ensure that you can have a taste of our home. Some of my favorite recipes in the cookbook are cha siu, crab with vermicelli, and pork & chive potstickers! It would mean the world to us if you cooked these recipes as well. 

Hope you get to cook an authentic Chinese feast or learn more about Chinese culture with Homecooked♥️💛 

If you wondered how the aesthetics are sooo 👌🏼, or you've already seen how BEAUTIFUL they look, all credit to my SUPER TALENTED friends @aiireeyo @lifted.and 

Also thank you for the ones the liked my first post hehe I messed up 🤣 and reposted again.

Check out my reels to see the ginger scallion lobster recipe and video. I used fresh lobster and fried the ginger and scallions in @cookwithyouyou tea seed oil! I love using the oil when cooking food in high heat (for that wok hei flavaa 😉)
