YUM !! I finally got this down to as good as any omlette I have had in a Chinese restaurant. A great addition to your other chinese dish.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.
