How to make it

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over low; pour in whites and push into soft curds with a spatula.
  3. Add cucumber; stir-fry 1 minute.
  4. Season with white pepper; serve.
  5. Pair with a main from the custom additions if you like; yolks can be used separately.
  6. Use medium heat unless noted; stir or flip occasionally for even cooking.
  7. Check doneness (no pink juices in poultry, fish flakes easily), then adjust salt.
