Ingredients:
5g of ground sha ren seed
3 eggs
salt, to taste
oil for stir-frying.
Method:
Beat the eggs to make egg flowers (ie break the yolks, but do not whisk fully tet), mix in Sha Ren powder and salt, beating more thoroughly this time.
Set a wok over medium heat then add a glug of oil. Once the oil is hot add the eggs and stir-fry until cooked. The continuous action of stir frying means that the eggs will be nice and fluffy.
