How to Make Cucumber, Ham, and Egg Stir-fry

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

  • Cucumber
  • Eggs
  • Ham sausage
  • Salt
  • Light soy sauce
  • Red chili pepper (optional)

Calculation

Determine how many servings to prepare before each cooking session. One serving is sufficient for 1 person.

Per serving:

  • 1 cucumber (approx. 200g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ham sausage (approx. 40g)
  • 1 red chili pepper (optional)
  • 10ml cooking oil
  • 3ml light soy sauce
  • 2g salt

Instructions

  • Wash the cucumber and slice it into half-moon shapes. Set aside.
  • Slice the ham into half-moon shapes. Set aside.
  • (Optional) Finely chop the red chili pepper. Set aside.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well mixed. This is the egg mixture.
  • Heat a pan and add 5ml of cooking oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to low, pour in the egg mixture, and scramble it with chopsticks. Stir-fry until the eggs are set and slightly yellowed. This is the semi-cooked egg. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Do not wash the pan. Add 5ml of cooking oil to the pan, then add the cucumber slices. Stir-fry over high heat for 1 minute.
  • Add the semi-cooked eggs back to the pan. Season with 2g of salt and 3ml of light soy sauce. Immediately add the ham slices and chopped chili pepper (optional). Stir-fry until evenly mixed.
  • Turn off the heat and plate the dish.

Additional Notes

  • Ham is salty, so add it after seasoning to prevent it from absorbing extra salt.
