- Pat the shrimp dry on a piece of kitchen paper and heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large wok, skillet or frying pan over a medium high heat. Cook the shrimp until just pink. Remove from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile, combine the stir fry sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan with a piece of kitchen paper and add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Cook the ground pork seasoned with the salt, breaking it up as you go until it is cooked through. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook for another minute until aromatic.
- Stir in the frozen peas, followed by the stir fry sauce. Once the mixture is bubbling, reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and keep stirring until the sauce starts to thicken. When it can coat the back of the spoon, stir in the cooked shrimp. Carefully drizzle the egg over the top of the sauce, leaving it to set for a few minutes until stirring the now cooked egg ribbons into the sauce.
