• The scallions- Wash and clean the scallions and cut at an angle into 1/2 inch pieces, set aside.
• The sesame oil- In a small frying pan heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil, keep warm and then set aside in the frying pan (to be heated later and used after the eggs are added), as an option see the notes below.
• COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
• In a Teflon pan (or wok) add 1 tablespoons peanut oil and when medium hot add the shrimp, stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink, do not overcook, remove and set aside.
• Next mash the salted black beans mixture a little, then add 1 tablespoons of oil to a clean Teflon pan (or wok) and when medium hot add the salted black bean mixture, then stir-fry until it starts to release its aroma.
• Next add the pork mixture and stir-fry until it loses its pink coloring.
• Next add the stock and stir-fry until boiling.
• Next re-stir the tapioca powder (or cornstarch), add to the pan and stir-fry to thicken the sauce.
• Next add the pre-cooked shrimp and cook for about a minute.
• While the shrimp is re-heating, heat the sesame oil until almost smoking and then set aside (in preparation to add on top of the eggs in order to set).
• Next add the egg mixture on top of the sauce.
• Then pour the heated sesame oil on top of the egg mixture to set/cook briefly (eggs should remain somewhat runny and do not stir the eggs into the sauce).
• Then add the scallions.
• Finally ladle the shrimp and sauce into a dish and try to retain some of the "set" egg on top for appearance. Serve and enjoy.
• NOTES:.
• Instead of using heated sesame oil, do not heat the oil (step # 9, 17) but add to the sauce in step #19 and stir once. Then add the eggs on top and use a cover to let steam "set" cook the eggs. However, this will increase the cooking time and you might overcook the shrimp.
