Chinese Green Chilli Egg

Chinese Green Chilli Egg

This simple but fancy stir-fried egg with green chilli has its origin in Chinese (Hunan) cuisine. I had it in Chinatown in Singapore and fell in love with the flavorful egg dish. It is made with mild green chillies so don’t worry about it being too spicy. However, if you like spicier food, you can just use a spicier variety of green chilli. Hunan cuisine often uses fermented black beans(Douchi) in stir-fries. You can use either use bottled fermented black beans or even use Black Bean Garlic Sauce instead. The green chillies used are a milder green chilli known as Horn Peppers or Screw Peppers.  They are like a cross between mild green chillies and bell peppers in aroma and flavour.
