Ingredients

3 large eggs
½ red onion cut into rings and then cut the rings into halves
2 inch carrot peeled and cut into strips, optional
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
3 dashes ground white pepper
½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1½ tablespoons cooking oil
8 medium sized shrimp peeled and deveined, about 4 oz (125g)

Instructions

Lightly beat the eggs until yolks and whites are just combined.
Add the red onions, carrot strips, scallions, oyster sauce, white pepper, sesame oil, and Shaoxing wine. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Heat the wok or skillet with oil. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink and opaque.
Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp, then stir continuously until it starts to set.
Pro Tip: When stirring, pick one direction and stick with it. If you’re stirring up and down, keep going up and down. If you’re stirring left and right, keep it consistent. This helps the eggs cook evenly and gives the omelette a light, tender texture.
Flip and continue to stir until the eggs are fully cooked and slightly browned in spots.
Serve immediately on a plate, hot, and enjoy with steamed rice.
