Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • 4 Eggs
  • 8 Shrimp
  • 1/2 bunch Chives
  • 1/4 piece Long Onion (Leek or Spring Onion)
  • Potato Starch (for dusting)

Seasonings

  • [A] 2 tsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine)
  • [A] 2 tsp Soy Sauce
  • [A] 1 tsp Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Splash of Cooking Sake (Rice Wine)
  • Pinch of Black Pepper

Steps

  1. Crack 4 Eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Add [A] 2 tsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), [A] 2 tsp Soy Sauce, and [A] 1 tsp Sugar, then mix well.
  2. Cut the root ends off 1/2 bunch of Chives, then cut them in half lengthwise and chop into 4-5cm lengths. [Pro Tip!] If the chive roots are thick, slice them lengthwise.
  3. Finely chop 1/4 piece of Long Onion (Leek or Spring Onion). [Pro Tip!] Adding a small amount of long onion enhances the flavor.
  4. Add the chopped chives and long onion to the whisked eggs and mix briefly.
  5. Devein and remove shells from 8 Shrimp. [Pro Tip!] If the deveining isn't done thoroughly, it will negatively affect the texture.
  6. In a bowl, massage the shrimp with a pinch of Salt, Potato Starch (for dusting), and a splash of Cooking Sake (Rice Wine). [Pro Tip!] This step effectively removes dirt and any gaminess from the shrimp.
  7. Once dirt appears, rinse the shrimp quickly under water and then thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels. [Pro Tip!] Any remaining moisture can cause a fishy odor, so ensure they are completely dry.
  8. If the shrimp are large, cut them into 2-3 pieces. Dust the prepared shrimp with Potato Starch (for dusting). [Pro Tip!] Dusting with potato starch creates a firm, plump coating during cooking, improving the texture.
  9. Add the potato-starch-dusted shrimp to boiling water and briefly poach until they change color. Drain in a colander. [Pro Tip!] This extra step significantly improves the texture of the shrimp.
  10. Heat 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil in a frying pan over medium heat until thoroughly hot. [Pro Tip!] Using a bit more oil than usual will result in fluffier eggs.
  11. Add the pre-poached shrimp to the hot pan, sprinkle with a pinch of Salt and a pinch of Black Pepper, and stir-fry briefly. [Pro Tip!] The shrimp are already 60-70% cooked from poaching, so a quick stir-fry will finish them completely.
  12. Pour the prepared egg mixture into the frying pan with the stir-fried shrimp all at once.
  13. Once the edges of the egg start to fluff up, gently fold the mixture from the outside towards the center with a spatula. [Pro Tip!] After adding the eggs, avoid vigorous stirring; the key is to cook them gently until fluffy.
  14. Once the eggs are cooked to a fluffy consistency, transfer them to a serving dish.
  15. Sprinkle with a pinch of Black Pepper as a garnish.
