CHINESE GRAVY

Heat oil in 10" skillet over low heat until very hot. Add egg mixture and spread vegetables evenly. Cover tightly and do not sitr; oil should bubble gently so bottom will be golden brown with top set in about 15 minutes. With sharp knife, cut into 4 portions in skillet. With wide spatula, remove to several thicknesses of paper towels to drain. Serve brown side up at once with thin Chinese gravy and hot cooked rice.
