Original recipe (1X) yields 1 servings

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
4 stalks asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 shallot, sliced
¼ green bell pepper, chopped
¼ Chinese okra, peeled and cut crosswise into chunks
4 grape tomatoes, halved
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon chile powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
2 eggs, beaten
6 leaves Thai basil, or to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute asparagus, shallot, green pepper, and Chinese okra until shallot is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, white pepper, chile powder, and cumin. Cook and stir until spices smell toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Pour eggs into the pan; cook until edges start to dry, about 2 minutes. Flip mixture over and cook until set, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle Thai basil on top.

Cook's Note:

Substitute zucchini for the okra if desired.
