Heat wok until you can only hold your hand an inch away from the surface for no more than 6 seconds. Add the oil. As soon as shimmering rises from the surface, add the garlic and gingerroot, stir once, using extra long cooking chopsticks, and add the chicken or shrimp. Stir until the chicken is done, or the shrimp are pink. If using surimi, just add and stir once. Add scallionsk, peas and long beans. Stir for a scant minute and add bok choy. Stir with the chopstsicks until the peas and beanss are crisp-tender and very bright green. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, for a minute, just until it's hot. Take the bowl of eggs and, whisking the mixture in the wok vigorously with the chopsticks, use your other hand to pour in the eggs, whisking all the while.
As soon as all the egg has been whisked in, immediately remove the mixture to a platter or the plates and sprinkle with cilantro and scallions.
Makes a main dish for 2.
All you need to complete the meal is a bowl of wonton soup and a fresh orange afterwards.
