After peeling, slice thinly so it cooks quickly and stays slightly crisp.

Heat oil in a pan, add onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.

Add sliced christophene, a pinch of salt, and sauté for 5–7 minutes. You want it tender but not mushy.

Beat eggs lightly, pour into the pan, and stir gently to scramble into the vegetable.
