1/2 cup dried shark's fin
6 eggs
1/4 cup smoked ham
1/2 cup bamboo shoots
2 tablespoons oils
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Soak and process shark's fin (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, 19-Soaking Information "shark's fins (skinless):").

2. Beat eggs. Sliver smoked ham and bamboo shoots.

3. Heat oil. Add salt, then bamboo shoots stir-fry 1 minute.

4. Add shark's fin stir-fry gently to heat through. Then add ham and stir-fry to heat.

5. Add eggs and stir in quickly a few times, but do not scramble. Cook until eggs begin to set, shaking or tilting the pan gently to distribute eggs over its surface and insure even cooking. (The uncooked part will roll around and under the cooked part.)

VARIATION:
* Omit the ham and bamboo shoots. Add soaked shark's fin to the beaten eggs, along with 1 tablespoon sherry, 1 teaspoon ginger juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Cook as in step 5 or scramble until nearly set.
