Introduction
These Asian Inspired Scrambled Eggs are a quick and flavourful breakfast combining soft scrambled eggs with tamari, fresh coriander, creamy avocado and black sesame seeds.

Ready in just a few minutes, these Primal scrambled eggs are an easy way to give a classic egg breakfast a completely different flavour without relying on complicated sauces or a long list of ingredients.
Enjoy them on their own for a simple keto breakfast, or serve with your favourite low-carb toast for a more substantial meal.
Benefits of All the Ingredients
Eggs
Eggs form the protein-rich foundation of this breakfast.
They provide complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids and are naturally rich in several important nutrients, including vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus and choline.
Egg yolks also contain the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, along with naturally occurring fats.
Cooking the eggs gently helps create the soft, creamy texture that works particularly well with avocado.
Tamari
Tamari provides a concentrated savoury and umami flavour, so only a few drops are needed.
Traditionally made primarily from fermented soybeans, tamari is commonly used as an alternative to conventional soy sauce.
Many tamari products are gluten-free, but this isn't universal. If preparing the recipe for someone with coeliac disease, use certified gluten-free tamari.
Tamari is also relatively high in sodium, so additional salt is unlikely to be necessary.
Fresh Coriander
Fresh coriander adds a bright, aromatic flavour that balances the richer eggs and avocado.
The leaves provide small amounts of vitamin K, vitamin C and provitamin A carotenoids, alongside naturally occurring plant compounds.
Adding some coriander to the eggs and reserving a little for garnish gives the finished dish a fresher flavour.
Avocado
Avocado adds a naturally creamy texture and helps make the scrambled eggs more substantial.
It provides predominantly monounsaturated fat, particularly oleic acid, as well as dietary fibre, potassium, folate and vitamin E.
Its mild flavour makes avocado especially versatile and allows the tamari, coriander and sesame flavours to remain prominent.
Black Sesame Seeds
Black sesame seeds provide a subtle crunch and nutty finish.
They contain predominantly unsaturated fats along with plant-based protein, fibre and minerals including copper, manganese, magnesium and calcium.
Sesame seeds also naturally contain plant compounds called lignans, including sesamin and sesamolin.
A small sprinkle is enough to provide contrasting colour, texture and flavour.
Low-Carb Toast – Serving Suggestion
Low-carb toast can turn the scrambled eggs into a more substantial breakfast and provides a convenient base for the creamy avocado and eggs.
