- 1
Sprinkle sake over the peeled shrimp, which have been lightly washed and patted dry, to remove any odor. Lightly boil in boiling water for about 1 minute, then drain and let them dry.
- 2
Finely chop the green onion and dissolve the cornstarch in an equal amount of water.
- 3
Crack and beat the eggs, then mix in sesame oil, chicken bouillon powder, salt, chopped green onion, and the cornstarch mixture.
- 4
Add cooking oil to a frying pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the dried shrimp, shaking the pan to evenly distribute the oil.
- 5
Once the pan is hot enough, pour in the well-mixed egg mixture from step 3, stir quickly for a moment, then let it sit.
- 6
When the edges start to set, gently push the mixture in one direction with a spatula to cook through.
- 7
Once it is nicely set and slightly runny, slide it onto a plate. This is my preferred way to serve it.
