Step 2
Mix all the seasoning ingredients together evenly. This salty-savory sauce is the key to the dish's flavor.
✅ Done when: The sauce is fully combined with no visible separation of ingredients.
Add oil to the wok; once hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set, then remove and set aside.
✅ Done when: The eggs are fully set and no longer runny.
Leave a little oil in the wok, add the minced garlic and bird's-eye chilies, and stir-fry until fragrant.
✅ Done when: The garlic and chilies release a noticeable aroma.
Add the wood ear mushrooms and garlic scapes and stir-fry, then pour a little water down the side of the wok and cook for 2-3 minutes.
✅ Done when: After 2-3 minutes, the garlic scapes are tender-crisp and the water has mostly cooked off.

Step 6
Return the scrambled eggs to the wok.
✅ Done when: The eggs are evenly distributed in the wok.
Pour in the sauce and toss quickly to coat evenly. (The sauce already contains salt from the soy sauce and oyster sauce, so no extra salt was added; taste before serving and add a pinch of salt if it seems mild.)
✅ Done when: Every piece is evenly coated with the sauce.
Reduce the sauce, then plate and serve.
✅ Done when: The sauce has thickened and clings to the ingredients.
