When I was chatting with my mom on the phone a few weeks ago, my mom said “Oh, maybe you can make stir-fried shrimps and eggs for your blog!” YES, I should! It’s a classic stir-fry dish that you can find in most Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. But it’s super easy and delicious.

With the constant heat waves all over the US, spending too much time in front of the stove is the last thing I want. That’s why this shrimp dish is perfect. It takes less than 10 mins on the stove. Seriously, why don’t I make this all the time?

When Bryan tried this dish for the first time, he found having eggs with rice for dinner to be a bit weird. In fact, egg dishes are very common in Chinese meals, like steamed eggs, stir-fried tomatoes and eggs. Eggs has lots of proteins and they’re filling. Also, they’re so delicious with rice. They sure make a great dinner dish.

Here are a couple tips for this recipe. First, marinate the shrimps. Just a little bit of salt and white pepper. It doesn’t take long, about 10 minutes. So the shrimps also taste good in the stir-fry. Next, the eggs. Because there’re very few ingredients in this dish. Every little thing makes a difference. So I like to use really good eggs in this recipe, like golden fertile eggs from Japanese supermarkets or Vital Farms eggs. Good eggs have a richer flavor. When you’re cooking the eggs, make sure not to over cook them. A little runny is what makes the eggs creamy and smooth.

That’s it. Really easy with very little ingredients. I hope you like this! Stay cool and enjoy your summer!

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces medium shrimps (peeled and deveined)
  • Dash of ground white pepper
  • 2 green onions
  • 5 large eggs
  • Salt
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Wash and rinse the shrimps. Pat dried with paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, combine shrimps, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a pinch of white pepper. Set aside and marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • For the green onion, remove and discard the white part. Finely chopped the green part. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, add eggs and beat until it’s smooth and a little foamy. Add ½ teaspoon salt and half of the green onions. Beat to combine.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm 3 tablespoons oil. Add shrimps and stir until they’re cooked through, pink and curled up. Transfer the cooked shrimps into the beaten eggs. Keep the oil in the skillet.
  • Add eggs and shrimps to the skillet. Turn off heat. When the eggs start to set in the bottom, gently push the eggs from the side to the center of the skillet and let the runny eggs to fill the pan again. Continue doing this until the eggs can no longer fill the pan. Gently fold the eggs and shrimps for a couple more times. It’s done when about most of the eggs is cooked, but a little bit looks a little moist and undercooked. If needed, turn the heat back up to medium-low. Transfer to a serving plate.
  • Sprinkle with the rest of green onion. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Notes

  1. For an even quicker version, buy shrimps that are already peeled and deveined.
  2. White pepper is often used in Chinese cooking. It tastes milder and more earthy than black pepper. You can find it in most Asian supermarket or online.
  3. This is very a simple dish, so every little ingredient matter. If you can find good eggs, use those. It will give the dish more flavors. I like golden fertile eggs from Japanese supermarkets and Vital Farms eggs.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
