Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a wok or large skillet heat the peanut oil.
Step 2
Next saute the black bean/garlic mixture for a minute. Add all of the onions while continually stirring.
Step 3
Once the onions are a little translucent, add the shrimp and pork (while stirring). Add the chicken broth and let it come to a simmer. Add the salt, sugar, accent, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Let it all come to a simmer. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture until desired consistency is reached. Thoroughly stir all of the mixture.
Step 4
Pour the beaten eggs in thin stream in a circular motion from the outside to the middle of the wok or skillet. This allows for even distribution throughout. Let cook for a minute or two (until the eggs get firm). Remove from the heat into a serving bowl.

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

- When selecting the shrimp, make sure to buy large shrimp that are already peeled, de-veined, and butterflied.
- If desired, MSG can be omitted from the recipe for a less salty flavor.
- Substitute olive oil for peanut oil - Olive oil is a healthier alternative to peanut oil, and it has a milder flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
- Substitute ground turkey for ground pork - Ground turkey is a leaner option than pork, making it a healthier alternative while still providing a similar flavor and texture.
Vegetarian Variation Replace the ground pork with an equal amount of firm tofu, cut into small cubes. Replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Replace the eggs with a mixture of 1/4 cup of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cold water.
