| What You Need: |

|
|
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1¾ cups chicken broth (or 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon concentrate and 1¾ cups water)
3 strips bacon
2 cups bean sprouts (¼ pound)
¼ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup chopped mushrooms
½ cup cooked shrimp
½ cup cooked ham, chicken, or other meat
6 eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon salt

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Put the ½ teaspoon salt, sugar, MSG, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a covered casserole. Gradually stir in the chicken broth.
|
2. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and boils (about 6 minutes). Set sauce aside.
|
3. Cook the bacon on paper toweling until brown and crispy (about 3 minutes). Set aside.
|
4. Put the bean sprouts and other vegetables in a covered casserole and cook, covered, in the microwave oven about 3 minutes or until the bean sprouts are just beginning to lose their crispness, stirring a couple times.
|
5. Crumble the bacon. Mix the bacon, vegetables, shrimp and ham with the eggs and salt. The solid materials should fill the egg batter but not be so much that large parts of it stick up out of the eggs.
|
6. Divide the mixture evenly among 8 lightly-buttered individual baking dishes or ramekins. Cook, covered with saucers or plastic wrap or wax paper, 4 at-a-times, until the egg is set (about 3 minutes for a set of four dishes).
|
7. Cook second set of dishes. Each dish will take a slightly different cooking time as no two dishes will have exactly the same amount of food in it or the same exact mixture. Check each one and remove as the egg sets.
|
8. Serve with the hot sauce over it. Pass more sauce in a pitcher.

|
NOTE:
|
|
You can change what is put into the eggs depending upon what is at hand. Always use the bean sprouts, but in place of all or part of the other vegetables, use water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, peas, chopped celery, chopped onion, even chopped green beans. In place of the shrimp and ham, use any shell fish or other diced meat or fowl.
