Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Feel free to substitute the bean sprouts with shredded cabbage or zucchini for a different texture. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. This dish is versatile; try including leftover vegetables from another meal. You can also use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a non-stick skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to keep them moist.
