Shark's Fin Omelet II


Serves: 8
Total Calories: 262

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried shark's fin
2 stalks scallion
2 slices ginger root
1 cup Stock, Chicken or favorite stock
2 tablespoons sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
2 tablespoons oils
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons oils

Directions:

1. Soak shark's fin. Cut scallions in 1-inch sections. Slice ginger root.

2. Combine stock, sherry, salt and pepper.

3. Heat oil. Add scallions and ginger root stir-fry a few times. Add shark's fin and stock-sherry mixture. Heat quickly then simmer, covered, 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Drain, discarding liquid, scallions and ginger root.

4. Beat eggs, then season with remaining salt. Stir in shark's fin.

5. Heat remaining oil. Add egg mixture and stir in quickly a few times, but do not scramble. Cook until eggs begin to set, shaking or tilting the pan gently to distribute eggs over its surface and insure even cooking. (The uncooked part will roll around and under the cooked part.). When the bottom begins to set, slowly fold omelet over with a spatula. Let it brown lightly while keeping the inside still soft and semi-liquid. Serve at once.

VARIATION:
* Omit steps 2 and 3. Place the shark's fin in a saucepan with water to cover. Add 1 scallion stalk, sliced 1 slice fresh ginger root, crushed and 2 tablespoons sherry. Bring to a boil then simmer 15 minutes. Rinse and drain then add fins to the beaten eggs, along with the salt, 1 tablespoon sherry, a dash of pepper, and 1 slice fresh ginger root and 1 scallion, both minced. Cook egg mixture as in step 5.
