Ingredients
  • 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons cooking sherry
  • 1 pound medium shrimp – peeled and deveined
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoon sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup cold water
  • 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch in sherry in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
  2. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and stir-fry until pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a plate; leave as much oil in the wok as possible.
  3. Add garlic to the wok and stir-fry for a few seconds, then add ground pork. Stir-fry until pork is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Mix 1 cup water, soy sauce, sugar, and salt together in a small bowl; pour into the wok and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. Whisk 1/4 cup cold water and 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch together in a small bowl; pour into the wok. Add shrimp and bring to a simmer. Drizzle beaten egg into the wok, stirring quickly as it cooks. Serve immediately.
