Ingredients

  • 6 large Eggs
  • 200 g Firm tofu
  • 1 medium Zucchini
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro leaves(optional)
  • ½ tsp Red chili flakes(optional)
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Using a food processor or grater, pulse the zucchini into fine strands to mimic noodles; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set; remove and slice into thin ribbons.

  3. 3

    Pat the tofu dry, cut into 1‑inch cubes, and toss with a little salt. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and fry the tofu until golden brown, about 4‑5 minutes; set aside.

  4. 4

    Combine fish sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl to create the sauce.

  5. 5

    Return the skillet to medium heat, add the zucchini noodles and stir‑fry for 2‑3 minutes until just tender.

  6. 6

    Add the scrambled egg ribbons, fried tofu, and sauce to the pan; toss everything together for another 2 minutes to coat and heat through.

  7. 7

    Finish with sliced green onions and optional cilantro; serve immediately.
