Eggs With Crab Meat image

This is an old Madame Wong recipe that I tried for the first time last night. It came out like a great big, loose, egg fu yung, or 'egg stew' and was total comfort food on a cold night. I changed a couple of things (added more egg and scallion and less oil) but this is pretty close to the original recipe. I think this recipe could really be played around with...I plan on trying it with small, cooked shrimp and, perhaps, adding some chopped spinach for more color and nutrition. One thing for sure, don't omit or substitute the fresh ginger!! The ginger is what made this so special for us. A non-stick wok is very useful for this recipe.
