This is a dish that’s new to me – don’t remember seeing it when I was in VN or at our local restaurant – will definitely be trying it at home. Thanks

Fried eggs with shrimp over watercress sounds like a great meal. I’ll have to remember that next time I get my carton of fresh eggs.

Donald, nuoc cham gung (ginger dipping sauce) is excellent with roast duck. Try it out next time. Judy, I like the idea of substituting crab meat for the shrimp! Meena, thanks! Let me know how you like it. Lydia, it may be more common, but good scrambled eggs are also yummy! Bee, you can't go wrong with fried shrimp and eggs! Heather, I like how you put that... good stuff without the grease. Right on! dp, I'm glad I was able to give you the warm and fuzzies, ha!

I feel warm and fuzzy just looking at the picture! This is comfort food at it’s best.

At home, Mom didn’t add shrimp, and she used fish sauce instead of soy. She always served it with the universal Thai dipping sauce of fish sauce, fresh chilies and lime. When I worked at a Chinese take-out joint, I often asked my boss to make this with the shrimp and I topped it with hot chili oil.

That looks exactly like what I want to eat all the time. It reminds me a little of banh xeo, but without the greasy crepe surrounding the good stuff. :)

I love this too, but I do it in an omelette form. Shrimp and eggs, fried, how can one go wrong?

Yum! So much more interesting than the scrambled eggs my mom used to make!

That looks delicious! I love learing new ways of making creative salads, and this is one recipe I definitely have to try out soon. Thanks! :)

My grandfather used to make something similar. He put in shrimp, beaten eggs, and scallions. Sometimes he would use crab meat instead of shrimp (Yum!). We would have this on rice, topped with oyster sauce. Now I really crave this dish.

I’ve never heard of this but I have to say it looks great! And it is easy enough to cook.

I wish I had seen your nuoc cham earlier. I just finished making roast duck and it sounds like it would have been excellent with the duck.
