The other day I was browsing through some photos from our trip to Thailand last year. During our travels around Southeast Asia, we pretty much gorged ourselves while savoring a wide variety of dishes. It is so hard to control yourself when there are so many amazing, yet fascinating flavors, shapes, and colors to try and that was our excuse to overeat. After seeing all of our food photos, this morning I was inspired to whip up one of my favorite breakfast dishes using some thai flavors: Spicy Scrambled Eggs with Zucchini. This Thai-inspired dish is very simple and ready in just 15 mins.
What You'll Need
3 eggs 1/4 medium onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, diced 1 medium zucchini, chopped 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil 1 teaspoon fish sauce 1 teaspoon red chili flakes Garnish: 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, 1 green onion chopped, cilantro leaves

In a skillet, I heated the oil, and added the onions, cooking until they were translucent. I added the garlic, zucchini, chili flakes, sesame seed oil and fish sauce and cook until the zucchini is tender. In a bowl, I beat the egg and added to the pan and cook them until scrambled. Very simple.
After my eggs were creamy, I plated the scramble eggs and garnish with green onion, sesame seeds and cilantro.

On occasion when I am in the mood for a quick and easy meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner, I will prepare a batch of these scrambled eggs. The fish sauce brings all the flavors together, and the salty taste is the reason why this recipe doesn't call for salt.
