Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
16 Oysters

¼ cup Fresh mushrooms
⅛ cup Bamboo shoots
2 Scallion stalks
4 Eggs
1 cup Milk
½ teaspoon Salt (up to)
3 tablespoons Oil
1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Directions

1. Shell oysters. Shred pork. Slice mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Mince scallion stalks.

3. Heat oil. Add shredded pork and stir-fry until it loses its pinkness (about 2 minutes). Add mushrooms and bamboo shoots; stir-fry 2 minutes more.

4. Add egg mixture and cook as in "Basic Omelet". When the bottom sets, fold omelet in half with a spatula. Turn it over and lightly brown the other side.

5. Meanwhile in a saucepan, blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste.

Then add soy and oyster sauce and heat, stirring, until mixture thickens.

Pour over omelet and serve at once.
