    List of Ingredients




    Yield: 4 servings

    1 lb Shrimp, shelled, tailed, deveined, rinsed, and towel dried
    1 Egg white beaten with 1 tsp Cornstarch
    3 tb Vegetable oil
    8 oz Ground pork
    4 tsp Salted black beans
    2 tb Garlic, minced
    1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced fine
    2 Scallions, minced
    5 tsp Soy sauce
    2 tb Dry sherry or rice wine
    1/4 tsp Sugar
    1/2 c Chicken broth
    1 tb Cornstarch dissolved in
    2 tb Cold chicken broth
    1 Egg beaten with
    2 tsp Sesame oil

    Recipe



    Beat egg white with cornstarch. Add shrimp, mix well, and refrigerate for at least 15 min or up to an hour. Stir-fry in 3 T oil just until done. Remove to a warming oven with a slotted spoon. In the same oil (if it's not too yucky) brown the pork. Add next 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil and add cornstarch-water. Return to the boil and cook until thickened. Remove pan from heat and stir in the egg; fuss with the mixture so the egg becomes thin filaments rather than a big glob in the middle of the pan. Stir in the cooked shrimp and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately. You may substitute 1 1-1/2# steamed, cut-up lobster for the shrimp to make Lobster Cantonese (or Lobster in lobster sauce). This will serve 2-3.
