While the original Slovenian dish, Pražene gobe z jajci, focuses on pan-frying the mushrooms and eggs together, the Yunnan-style adaptation involves stir-frying the mushrooms separately before combining them with the scrambled eggs. This technique allows the mushrooms to retain their distinct texture and flavor while still harmonizing with the eggs.
