Chinese Dinner 4 Dad

Since I get my unique taste in food almost exclusively from my dad I decided to try my hand at a few dishes on his birthday. They all came out really good and will get added to the routine.

Egg Drop Soup

2 cups of chicken broth
2 small pieces of ginger
1/2 teaspoon of oyster sauce
1 large egg, scrambled
1 dried chili pepper
a dash of hot sauce

Bring all ingredients (except the egg) to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Once the broth is boiling profusely drop in the egg and stir lightly with a fork to break it up. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.

Shrimp Egg Foo Yung

10 medium raw shrimp peeled, deveined, and halved
1/3 cup of bean sprouts
1/4 cup of diced onions
4 extra large eggs
5 leaves of chinese cabbage chopped
1 teaspoon of hot sauce
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1 cup of chicken gravy

Beat the egg and wet ingredients together in a large bowl. Add sprouts, shrimp, onion, and cabbage. Pour 1/4 of the mixture into a very hot small skillet. Once the bottom has browned slightly flip and cook the other side completely. Remove heat, smother in gravy. Repeat using the rest of the mixture until complete.

Shrimp Fried Rice

10 medium raw shrimp peeled, deveined, and halved
1/3 cup of bean sprouts
1/4 cup of diced onions
1 egg scrambled
2 leaves of chinese cabbage chopped
1 teaspoon of hot sauce
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
3 cups of cooked rice

Add add olive oil to skillet. Heat until smoking. Add the egg, then immediately add the other ingredients. Cook until shrimp is done.
