Instructions:

- Cut the broccoli into florets.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

- Drain the broccoli and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the oyster sauce over the broccoli and aromatic mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
- Season with a dash of salt to taste.
- 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.
- 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.
