The unique Ying Yang design is for presentation. Just before serving, combine both sides to mix shrimp and chicken in a pool of sweet tangy tomato sauce with creamy eggy goodness. Heaven on earth!

  • 3 eggs
  • 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • vegetable oil, for stir frying
  • salt
  • sugar, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in
  • 1 cup water

  2. Combine chicken with sugar, salt, corn starch, and vegetable oil. Set aside.

  3. Heat wok with 1 tablespoon oil and a sprinkle of salt.

  5. When it has heated through, add the egg yolk and mix in well until egg is cooked.

  6. Place rice on serving platter, preferably one with high sides to contain the rice and toppings when done.

  7. Heat 1/2 teaspoon of oil in wok. Stir fry peas for about 30 seconds, remove and set aside.

  8. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in wok. Add shrimp and stir fry about 5 minutes, stirring constantly so the shrimp does not scorch.

  12. When the chicken is about half cooked, add sliced tomatoes and continue stirring until chicken is done.

  13. Add ketchup and mix thoroughly. Adjust flavor with a little sugar as desired to balance out the tartness of the tomatoes.

  14. When done, spoon over the other half of the rice, filling in the curve of the other half.
