Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and chili peppers.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Grate the ginger root.
- Cut the broccoli into florets.
2. Cook Broccoli:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- Drain the broccoli and set aside.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped chili peppers. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the chopped onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are soft and translucent.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, lightly beat them, and then pour them into the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs gently, cooking them until they are just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet with the aromatics. Toss to combine and ensure the broccoli is well coated with the garlic, ginger, and chili mixture.
6. Add Oyster Sauce:
- Pour the oyster sauce over the broccoli and aromatic mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
- Season with a dash of salt to taste.
7. Final Assembly:
- Gently fold the scrambled eggs into the broccoli and sauce mixture. Be careful not to break the eggs too much.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
8. Serve:
- Serve the chilli eggs with garlic broccoli hot, either on its own or as a side dish.

Tips:

- Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh garlic, ginger, and chili peppers. Fresh ingredients can make a significant difference in the taste of the dish.

- Adjust the heat: If you prefer a milder dish, you can reduce the amount of red chili peppers or remove the seeds to lessen the heat.

- Prepare ingredients ahead: Chop and prepare all ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.

- Use a non-stick pan: Using a non-stick pan can help prevent the eggs from sticking and ensure even cooking.

- Don’t overcook the broccoli: Cook the broccoli until it's just tender to retain its bright green color and nutritional value.

- Tailor the oyster sauce: Adjust the amount of oyster sauce based on your preference for saltiness and umami.

This chilli eggs with garlic broccoli recipe is a perfect blend of heat and flavor, making it an ideal choice for a healthy and satisfying meal. Whether you are serving it as breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds.
