Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 1 large Egg
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh, minced)
• 3 Scallions (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the cooked pork.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, salt, and white pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Slowly add the cornstarch slurry while stirring, allowing the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Add the cooked ground pork and shrimp back into the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the sauce.

Step 8

Make a small well in the center of the skillet and crack the egg into it. Gently stir the egg into the sauce to create silky ribbons.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped scallions over the dish and give a final stir.

Step 10

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy your delicious Shrimp and Lobster Sauce!
