Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 0.5 cup cooked shrimp
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until evenly combined.
Finely slice the green onions and add them to the eggs along with the bean sprouts, cooked shrimp, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan to form a round, pancake-like shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are set and golden.
Using a spatula, carefully fold opposing edges of the egg inward slightly to resemble petal shapes. Flip the egg gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture.
In a small saucepan, combine chicken stock, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Arrange the cooked eggs on a serving plate, shaping them further to resemble peony flowers by pushing and curling edges inward with a spatula.
Drizzle the thickened sauce generously over the eggs.
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
