1. Squeeze liquid from mushrooms. Remove and discard stems and finely shred the caps into thin strips. Heat a wok over high heat until it is hot. Add the oil and, when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the prawns and stir-fry for 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the prawns and set aside. Then add the mushrooms and green onions and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, salt, pepper, sherry and sesame oil. Stir-fry 1 minute more. Now add the beaten eggs and stir-fry gently until the eggs are cooked and slightly firm. Return the prawns and mix well. Remove to a platter and serve at once.
