Scale
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken or beef
1/2 cup bean sprouts
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and celery, cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cooked chicken or beef and bean sprouts. Cook for 2 more minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, soy sauce, and black pepper.
Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and meat in the skillet. Cook until set, flipping once to cook both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
