Spicy Scrambled Eggs

Directions

1. 1
   Put butter or oil in a skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high.
2. 2
   Add garlic, ginger, scallions, chile and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
3. 3
   Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color, about 3 minutes.
4. 4
   Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
5. 5
   Beat eggs lightly with a little more salt and pepper.
6. 6
   Return pan to medium-high heat and add eggs.
7. 7
   Stir occasionally, until curds begin to form, then remove from heat and stir to break up curds.
8. 8
   Return to heat and repeat, stirring occasionally until mixture begins to clump.
9. 9
   Cook and stir until eggs are creamy and thick but not dry: they will continue to cook under their own heat after you remove them from pan, so stop a moment short of your desired consistency.
10. 10
    Stir in cilantro and serve immediately.
