Directions
Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet until hot.
Add the eggs, do not stir and let cook for 30 to 40 seconds until it sets. (You can add some sliced scallions into the eggs if you want, which is an Asian way)
Scramble the eggs with a spatula, breaking into large pieces. Transfer the eggs onto a plate and set side.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok or skillet.
Add the garlic, scallions and ginger, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the garlic scape, and cook for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the scrambled eggs into the wok or pan, add soy sauce if you like, and season with salt to taste.
Remove the pan from the heat, and transfer the stir-fry onto a serving plate.
Serve with steamed or fried rice.
