In a small bowl, lightly whisk together the eggs and add to the pan, lifting and tilting the egg and pan until all of the liquid is touching the pan and cooking and none is sitting on top of the egg. Carefully flip and cook until set. Remove the egg and chop.
3.In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, ginger and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
