Ingredients
  • 6 oz shrimps, cut into small pieces or ½ cup cooked small shrimp
  • 4 fresh shitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups bean sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 6 large eggs
Sauce
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
  • 1 ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the mushrooms, green onions and bean sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.
