Egg Pouch in Oyster Sauce


I always love eggs and normally, we just fry an egg and eat it plain or with some soy sauce which is very common amongst families.
**
I came across this recipe and wanted to share with you. At least it is something different and absolutely tastes yummy!!!
**
Ingredients:-
- 6 eggs
- oil for cooking
- a few pieces of lettuce leaves (washed & arranged on a plate)
- a few slices of ginger, shredded
- a few slices of carrot, shredded
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch, blended with 1/2 tbsp water
**
**
Seasonings:-
- 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 60ml water
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of cooking wine
**
1. Heat a little oil in a skillet. Break 1 egg into it. Cook till sides are a little brown but centre still moist. You can either fold the egg and fry a little longer or remove straight and place onto plate of lettuce. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet. Stir-fry ginger and carrot shreds for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add oyster sauce and stir-fry.
4. Pour in water and bring to boil.
5. Add rest of the seasoning ingredients. Cook for 1 minute.
