  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add bok choy (or spinach) and cover. Cook for 2-5 minutes, or until wilted.
  7. Add bell pepper, carrots, and scallions. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
  8. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.
  9. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Once hot, add eggs and scramble until set.
