1 cup lean pork
1/2 pound shrimp
1 cup chinese cabbage stems
1/2 cup onion
2 tablespoons oils
6 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
oil

1. Shred pork. Shell, devein and sliver shrimp. Shred Chinese cabbage stems and onion.

2. Heat oil. Add pork and stir-fry until it loses its pinkness (about 2 minutes).

3. Add shrimp, Chinese cabbage and onion stir-fry about 1 minute more. Then cook, covered, 3 minutes over medium heat. Drain and let cool.

4. Beat eggs. Stir in salt and stir-fried ingredients.

5. Either pan-fry: Heat oil. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of egg mixture into pan to make one small omelet. (Fry each omelet separately.) Turn it over when bottom is done and brown lightly on the other side. Remove omelet and keep warm. Repeat process, adding more oil as needed.

OR deep-fry: Heat oil until it foams (it should be about 2 1/2 inches deep). Carefully drop egg mixture into oil with a ladle, tipping the ladle to release the omelets. (For a 3-inch omelet, allow 1/2 cup of egg mixture for a smaller one, 1/4 cup.). Let omelet rise to the top (this will take about 2 minutes). Baste with hot oil to brown. Then flip omelet over, using a spoon and spatula, or 2 spoons, and baste to brown the other side. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper toweling. Keep warm. Repeat process until egg mixture is used up.

VARIATIONS:
* For the pork, substitute crabmeat. For the Chinese cabbage, substitute celery. In step 2, stir-fry the celery and onions to soften. Then add crabmeat with the shrimp in step 3.
* In step 3, before cooking the shrimp and vegetables, covered, sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
