• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring gently, until softly scrambled. Remove and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoison sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the green onions, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
