4 to 6 eggs
2 stalks scallion
2 tablespoons oils
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Beat eggs well. Shred or sliver scallion stalks.

2. Heat oil. Add salt, then scallions, and stir-fry a few times.

3. Pour in beaten eggs and cook over medium-high heat. As eggs begin to set, draw them with a fork or spatula away from the edges of the pan and toward the center. (Do not overcook: eggs are best when semi-solid or partly set.) Serve at once.

NOTE: Stirred eggs are seldom cooked alone they're combined with various meats, seafood and vegetables as in Basic Stirred Eggs with Variations.

VARIATIONS:
* In step 1, add to the beaten eggs 1/4 teaspoon sugar and 2 teaspoons sherry.
* In step 2, add with the scallions 1 slice fresh ginger root, minced.
