Ma used to make this for all (7) of us when I was young. She used round eggs molds or a tuna can with both ends cut off to make them perfectly round and to keep the mixture together. These are the measurements she gave me-it makes just and bit-can be easily multiplied.

2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sherry wine

1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/4 tablespoon soy sauce
