Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry the pork, breaking it up, until cooked through with no pink left, 3-4 min. Tip onto a plate and let it cool.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the 1 tsp soy sauce, salt, white pepper, sesame oil and 1/4 tsp cornstarch.

3. 3

   Stir the cooled pork, bean sprouts, onion, spring onions and shiitake into the eggs.

4. 4

   Wipe the wok and heat 2 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

5. 5

   Ladle in about a quarter of the egg mixture. The edges should sizzle and bubble straight away.

6. 6

   Fry without stirring until the underside is golden and the top is mostly set, 2-3 min.

7. 7

   Flip and fry the other side until golden and the egg is set all the way through, 1-2 min. Keep warm on a plate.

8. 8

   Repeat with the rest of the mixture, adding more oil as needed, to make 4 patties.

9. 9

   For the gravy, bring the stock, 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and a pinch of white pepper to a simmer in a small pan.

10. 10

    Stir the cornstarch slurry, pour it in and stir until the gravy turns glossy and thickens, about 1 min.

11. 11

    Stack the patties on plates, pour the gravy over and serve with steamed rice.
