- 1 medium carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 2 tablespoons onion, diced small
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Protein:

Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Instructions
- Whisk eggs thoroughly and pour into a heated skillet with olive oil over medium temperature. Scramble eggs until softly cooked and transfer to a separate plate.
- Without cleaning the skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and quickly sauté minced onions and crushed garlic for approximately 60 seconds, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Introduce additional olive oil into the skillet, then add shredded cabbage and julienned carrots. Stir ingredients to ensure even coating and cover, allowing vegetables to steam and soften for 3-4 minutes.
