Egg with squash and shrimp
Serves 3-4 people

Ingredients:
1 green squash
Shrimp
1/6 – 1/7 onion
3 eggs
Fish sauce
Chicken powder
Monosodium Glutamate
Pepper

Directions:
1. Peel and cut the squash into long, thin (about 5 cm. long) pieces and then set it aside.
2. Peel and wash the shrimp and then cut it down the middle to remove any bad substances.
3. Cut the shrimp into small pieces.
4. Cut the onion into small pieces.
5. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and then add a little fish sauce, chicken powder, Monosodium Glutamate, and pepper.
6. Mix very thoroughly until it is completely yellow and has no solid substances.
7. Add 2 teaspoons of oil into the wok (stove on high) and then put in the onions.
8. Mix them around and cook it for a little while before you add the garlic, shrimp, and onions.
9. Stir it around and then continue to cook it. When it is done, add it to the egg.
10. Mix the cooked food in the egg and then add it back into the wok. Cook the mixture until it is done and then pour it onto a plate and it is ready to be served. (The amount cooked may be too much for the wok to hold so it may need to be cooked in two batches.)

The egg recipe is similar to the one with imitation crab meat. Just so you know, the food items that don't have measurements in the ingredients section, I either put it so you are only supposed to add a little bit to the dish or the ingredients that I don't metion any measurements are supposed to be for you to add as much or as little of those ingredients that you want. Most of the time, those ingredients shall be meat or choys.
