3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 eggs lightly beaten
½ lb shrimps peeled, deveined and diced
2 green onions sliced thinly
½ lb Chinese barbeque pork diced

Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or a large non- stick frying pan. Add the beaten eggs; pushing the set egg towards the center and tilting the pan to let the unset egg run to the edges. Cook until firm and then break up into large pieces. Transfer into a plate and set aside.
Using the same pan, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Swirl in the remaining tablespoon oil. Add the green onions and stir-fry for 20 seconds. Add the rice, stirring and breaking up any clumps.
Add the barbeque pork, peas and chopped eggs. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until the peas have been cooked through.
Return shrimps to the pan and add liquid seasonings or soy sauce. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Serve and enjoy!
