Shrimp and Egg Stir-Fry is a classic dish that hails from Chinese cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and delightful flavor. This recipe is special because it marries the tender sweetness of shrimp with the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, all brought together with the unique heat distribution of a wok pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Substitutions and Variations (if needed):

  • Shrimp: You can substitute with chicken or tofu for a different protein.
  • Soy Sauce: Tamari or coconut aminos can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • Green Onions: Substitute with chives or omit if you prefer.

Instructions

  1. Cook the Eggs: Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the hot wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the wok and scramble gently until just set but still soft. Remove the eggs and set aside.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok with the shrimp. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and chopped green onions. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the stir-fry and add salt if needed. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Make sure the wok is sufficiently heated before adding ingredients; this ensures a great stir-fry texture without sticking.
