1 Tablespoon oyster sauce

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

1 Tablespoon cornstarch in 4 T water

6 Eggs

1 Tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry

bean sprouts

  any other desired fixin's

Instructions: 

Sauce:  mix broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce and cornstarch/water mixture; bring to a boil and stir until thickened.

Scramble eggs; mix in vegetables.  Pour into an appropriate size cast skillet (this is thick, like an omelet, not a thin little crepe!).  Cook over medium/low heat until bottom set.  While cooking, gently run a knife around the edge and tip/roll the pan so raw egg runs to edge.  Finish under broiler.  Serve with sauce.

And last, but not least:  remember the Swiss steak they served in the school cafeteria?  This is NOTHING like that!!!!

Swiss Steak

     From:  The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes (Judith Finlayson)

1 T oil

2 lb round steak

2 medium onions, chopped

1 carrot, sliced thinly

1 stalk celery, sliced thinly

salt and pepper to taste

2 T all-purpose flour

28 oz diced tomatoes (undrained)

1 T Worcestershire sauce

1 bay leaf

Brown the steak on both sides in oil.  Transfer to slow-cooker.

Cook vegetables until soft, about 5-8 minutes.  Sprinkle flour over veggies and cook 1 minute more, stirring.  Add tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil and cook while stirring until thickened.  Add bay leaf.

Pour over steak in slow-cooker.  

Low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.  (Discard bay leaf.)

We're having this for dinner tomorrow night.  It's all set up in the slow-cooker and the house smells GREAT!!
