1.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
2.
Heat the olive oil or vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Chef's Tips

Don't overcrowd the wok. If you have a lot of spinach, cook it in batches.

For a richer flavor, add a dash of oyster sauce (if not vegetarian) or hoisin sauce along with the soy sauce.

Serve with a side of toast or rice for a more substantial breakfast.
