Method

In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the peanut oil; add garlic and crushed pepper, then stir over medium-high heat just until browned. Add cabbage, sprouts, red peppers and spinach; cook until tender-crisp, then remove from heat and cool. In mixing bowl, whisk eggs until blended; stir in vegetables. In a small saucepan, heat stock until simmering. Mix cornstarch with cold water, soy sauce, vinegar, sherry and cayenne. Add to stock; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; reduce heat and keep warm. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Pour in a level cup of egg-vegetable mixture; cook over medium heat until eggs begin to firm. Flip and cook through, then repeat with remaining oil and mixture. Serve with the hot gravy.

 

Notes: Eggs and gravy can be kept in a warm oven until all cooking is complete.
