Instructions

1 Rinse the dried shrimps and soak them in ½ cup of water for about 10 minutes or
until they soften. After, drain the shrimp but keep the water for later.
2 Using a knife, run it along the side of the hairy gourd to remove the hairs.
Then rinse it off and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Chop off the
stem end of the gourd and then slice them into bite-sized pieces.
3 Peel both the garlic cloves and ginger. Then slice the ginger into thin slices
and mince the garlic.
4 Once your ingredients are ready, heat the vegetable oil in a pan or wok over
medium-high heat. Once hot, saute the ginger slices, garlic and dried shrimp for
1 to 2 minutes.
5 Then add in the hairy gourd pieces and cook for 5 minutes or until they begin to
look translucent.
6 Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk before adding into the pan.
7 Add in the oyster sauce and sesame oil. Combine well before adding in the
leftover dried shrimp water. Season with salt and sugar.
8 Cook until some of the water has evaporated or until all the ingredients become
tender.
9 Turn off the heat and transfer to a plate. Ready to serve! Hairy gourd with
dried shrimp is best eaten as a main or as a side with rice.
