Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup low-FODMAP chicken broth or stock*
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine* or rice wine
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused oil*
- 1 pound jumbo peeled and cleaned shrimp, uncooked, tails off or on
- 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, finely chopped or grated*
- 3 medium scallions, green tips only, plus for garnish, finely chopped*
- White rice or rice noodles, for serving, prepared
Instructions
- Whisk your eggs in a small bowl
- In a medium bowl or measuring cup combine LF chicken broth, cornstarch, sesame oil, rice wine, oyster sauce, pepper, and sugar
- Heat garlic-infused oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan or wok. Once hot, turn down heat, and add the shrimp in a single layer and sear until light golden-brown on the bottom and edges, 2 to 3 minutes, flipping as needed (the shrimp cook quickly, so watch). They should begin to turn pink in color
- Transfer shrimp to a plate for now, so they don’t overcook
- If necessary, drain excess fluid from the skillet
- Add the ginger to the skillet, and stir for 1 minute to brown
- Turn down the heat, and add the liquid mixture. Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes). Stir in the scallion tips, and add the shrimp back to the skillet
- Slowly add the whisked eggs in a thin stream and cook without stirring, until the eggs set (about 20-30 seconds). Then gently stir the egg to create little islands of cooked egg in the sauce
- Taste sauce, and season if desired
- Remove the pan from the heat
- Serve over rice or noodles, garnished with additional scallion tips
Notes
- Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using FODMAP data at time of posting)
- 1 inch ginger is equivalent to 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- Shaoxing wine is an Asian rice wine, you can substitute rice wine or cooking sherry
- The green tip of the scallion is low-FODMAP, avoid the bulbs
- Select a chicken broth/stock without added onion or garlic, or make your own
- Infused oils do not contain FODMAPs, see this blog for the reasons why!
- Nutritional info does not include serving rice or noodles
