Um. You should not under any circumstances cook your scrambled your egg for 5 to 10 minutes. Five minutes will give inedible rubbery eggs. 10 minutes will give you absolutely inedible trash.
Please please don’t do this to perfectly good eggs that came into the world and to be eaten in their creamiest softer forms.
Haitians cook things hard, that’s true. But no one in my family would cook eggs for this long. 2/3 minutes top.
Also, if I were y’all, I’d skip the adobo and add some epice which is some crushed parsley, garlic, scallions, scotch bonnet peppers! Throw in a lil bit of thyme and swap the onions for shallots, if you’re feeling fancy.
