For the patties

6 large eggs
8 oz medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped
2 cups bean sprouts

Scallions are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

White pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ cup neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil), divided

2 scallions, thinly sliced (for serving) (optional)

Instructions

1
Make the gravy: Whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar in a small saucepan. In a separate small bowl, stir the cornstarch into the cold water until fully dissolved, then stir the slurry into the broth mixture.
2
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and turns glossy, about 3–4 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep warm while you cook the patties.
