Egg-Kai-Shek

So, this weekend I tried something that has been a long time in the making. When I was in Taiwan, these were a breakfast staple. They were cut by scissors and served in plastic bags. I was wondering if the big noses (Taiwanese slang for white people) at my house would like them.

I got a package of frozen "thin onion pies" at my local Chinese market. These are easy to make, but flipping the egg and pie is tricky. I found that what worked was cooking the pie on one side of the griddle and the egg mixture on the other side. I just combined one egg, green onions, salt and pepper and water and beat them together.

When the egg mixture was mostly cooked, I slid it on top of the tortilla-like pie. You then roll it up, cut it in strips and drizzle sauce on top. I combined chili sauce (sriracha), oyster sauce, teriyaki and soy sauce.

It may sound weird for breakfast, but trust me, big nose, you will like these.
