Fried Eggs with Mixed Veggies and Minced Meat 碎碎蛋炒肉

Egg is one of the common ingredients I often used in family meal, it's lasting and versatile for cooking. I opt for non-antibiotic eggs, slightly higher price but give the comfort to know no extra junks added into the eggs. Of course you can also source for organic farm eggs too (free ranch eggs) but they are seldom to come by and often is double the price.

Among the common egg dishes you can find on our dinning table are Chinese omelette (芙蓉蛋), Cheesy egg omelette, steamed eggs, egg wrapped patty burger, French toast, fried rice with eggs (蛋炒饭,小瓜们最爱). Maybe one of these days I'll make a hard boiled egg salad or try my Mom's signature Teow Chew braised eggs（潮州卤蛋), I can eat a whole bowl of rice just with that!

Of course there is so much more you can create with eggs, my list is only a tip of the possible varieties.

Today I'll share with you a simple stir fried dish that can be ready in no time, and is suitable for old and young ones alike - stir fried eggs with mixed veggies and minced meat.

When serving, garnish with some parsley or cherry tomatoes. Better presentation often leads to better appetite too. :)
