ingredients

12 medium shrimp
4 eggs, beaten
¹⁄₄ onion, sliced
1 green onion, sliced
¹⁄₃ cup chicken broth
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch

directions

Prepare sauce by adding oyster sauce to chicken broth then whisk.
Heat wok or skillet until extremely hot.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil & stir fry shrimp, onion & green onion until just cooked then remove.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to wok & when hot, add the beaten eggs.
Return shrimp & onions to wok.
Stir in the shrimp once so they become part of the omlette & then let them sit, continue to break holes in the egg between the shrimp to allow raw egg to contact the wok.
Jiggle, poke & shimmy the omlette to prevent sticking until mostly cooked.
Flip or turn omlette & finish cooking on other side for a few second then turn out onto warm plate & cover with foil.
Return wok to heat.
Add cornstarch to sauce & whisk then add to wok.
Boil sauce until thick then pour over omlette.
A "slight" burn on the egg tastes great with the sauce but not too much.

Thanks for the recipe!!! It is fantastic!!! Made it last week for dinner & making it again tonight. Like other review, I added a little soy sauce to both the egg mixture & sauce & a few extra vegetables...it was delicious! Thanks again : )
