This stir fried egg recipe is an experimental hit which is adapted from the chilli paneer recipe to fulfill my kids wish to have eggs the Chinese way. This is very quick to put up and will go very well with Chinese Vegetable fried rice or any variety rice for that sake. As I could prepare any egg dish only on the weekends as my kids have been banned to bring egg dishes by their schools, this made a nice change from the regular and monotonous omelets.
Moreover it is made of hard boiled eggs is an added plus for me. I do not like making omelets as the stink from the tawa while heating it the next time always makes me so nauseous no matter how well I clean it up.
If any of you have a solution to this, I would be very happy if you could share it with me. So I prefer using eggs, boiled in recipes apart from having to beat them up in baking and find ways to avoid having to break them open and use it for cooking. I’m yet to be convinced that eggs are no longer considered as a non-vegetarian ingredient.

March 1, 2012 at 11:10 amUmm.. That looks delicious!. Even though am a non-vegetarian I don’t like the smell to go into the house, so I always light up scented candle right next to my stove before I start. It helps with even fish smells. Also, my mom’s trick, put some water in the pan and bring it to boil and throw that water away, it cleans residues & takes away much of the smell.
