Shrimp and egg is one of the dishes that my mom specialized in! Whenever, I eat her shrimp and eggs, I feel like it reminds me of home. Her secret ingredient was to add a little bit of sugar and to not overcook the eggs.
A typical meal that she would make for me when I was young was this shrimp and egg, white rice, and boiled leafy vegetables (choy sum). The combination of these three dishes are so simple and filling. Hope you get to try this lovely home-y dish!
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR SHRIMP AND EGG:
- eggs
- salt
- chicken bouillon
- sugar
- green onion
- chinese chives (optional, but highly recommended)
- oil
- shrimp
STEPS TO MAKE THE SHRIMP AND EGG:
- In a bowl, add 3-4 eggs. Then, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Whisk eggs until there are no egg whites showing.
- Slice green onions and chinese chives. Add the green onions and chives in the eggs and gently mix together.
- Add shrimp in the egg mixture. Heat pan to medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil on the pan. Add shrimp to the pan and cook for 1 minute on each side (until the shrimp is orange).
- Add egg mixture to the pan and gently mix together and break apart the eggs. This step should take no longer than 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and serve the eggs immediately!
- Eat eggs with hot white rice or noodles! I usually add a leafy vegetable side dish (choy sum) for an easy lunch or dinner. Hope you enjoy!
