    Chinese Scrambled Eggs with Char Siu (叉烧炒蛋)

    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
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ 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 ½ teaspoon salt, ½ 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.
