Pretty much. You whisk a couple of eggs with any add-ins, heat ~ a cup of oil to about 400°F in a wok, pour in the eggs, cook 20-30 sec, flip, cook another 20-30 sec. Result is crispy on the outside, soft and tender inside. Not something I plan to repeat with any regularity but I was curious to try it.
You can see Kenji making it in this video. The egg business starts around the 4 minute mark.
