Ingredients

To scramble the eggs

  • 6 large eggs whisked
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the cabbage

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ large onion sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • teaspoon ginger minced
  • ½ large cabbage shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 2 teaspoon all purpose seasoning
  • tbsp soya sauce
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • pink salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a medium sized non stick frying pan on medium heat.
  • Pour the eggs into the frying pan.
  • Use a non stick spatula to scramble the eggs by moving the spatula in a back and forth and side to side motion.
  • Once the eggs are scrambled sprinkle with the parsley and black pepper.
  • Remove the scrambled egg from the frying pan and set it aside.
  • Let the pan cool and use kitchen towel to wipe out any scrambled egg residue.
  • Meanwhile, on medium heat in the same frying pan heat some olive oil.
  • Saute the onion, garlic and ginger until soft and translucent.
  • Add the bell peppers and cabbage and stir the vegetables until the volume of the cabbage starts to reduce.
  • Add the all purpose seasoning then stir.
  • Add the warm water then put the lid on, reduce the heat to medium-low and steam for 10-15 minutes..
  • Once done, remove the lid then fold in the scrambled eggs.
  • Add the soy(a) sauce, parsley and black pepper then stir.
  • Do a taste test and add pink salt to taste

Notes

  • Chop the vegetables and refrigerate them ahead of time as this will make things much quicker when preparing for breakfast.
  • Make sure you are using WHITE cabbage and not the leafy kind as that will wilt and become limp while steaming.
  • Steam the cabbage to your preference, if you want a crunchy texture then only steam for roughly 10 minutes.
  • Be sure to do a test taste and adjust for seasoning if required.
  • This is the recipe that you will need for my All Purpose Seasoning recipe.
  • Feel free to add any extras - mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots etc...
  • Store any leftovers in a refrigerator (in an airtight container) for up to 24 hours.
