Chinese New Year 2020 "The Year of the Rat"

The Year of the Rat!!!!!!

Are you born in the year of the Rat?

2020 is a year of the Rat, starting from January 25th, 2020 and lasting until February 11th, 2021. It will be a Gold Rat year. 
If you were born in 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948... you are a Rat.
The Year of the Rat is the first zodiac sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle. According to the Chinese zodiac story, in the competition held by the Jade Emperor to decide the zodiac animals, the quick-witted rat asked the diligent ox to take him on a ride to cross the river and jumped down before the ox crossed the finish line, so the rat won the race and became the first of the zodiac animals.

1st Video: Hibachi Shrimp
1 lb of 16-20 raw shrimp with shell on. Why, the shell retains the shrimp flavor. Size 16-20 which is the measurement that shrimp is sold by. (The lower the number the bigger the shrimp).
1 stick of unsalted butter, Why? Because with Hibachi shrimp you'll be combining the butter with soy sauce.
Peel shrimp shell completely or 90% and leave tail. It's a little fancier. Slice the hump of shrimp curve to clean intestine (black line). and rinse under cold water.
I a non stick pan, add the unsalted butter about 1/2 stick, medium heat add shrimp, some garlic powder and a dash of soy sauce. Once the shrimp turns opaque, its done. The amount of soy sauce is based on a balance of sweetness of the butter and saltiness of the soy sauce.

Chinese Vegetable Omelette with Oyster Sauce
This is a take on the American Omelette.  You'll need the following: frozen peas and carrots, 1 chopped up onion and 3 eggs. The oyster sauce will be drizzled over the omelette. (Drizzle because the oyster sauce is very strong and a little goes a long way)
A non stick pan. Heat pan to medium, while you crack open the egg and add about 1/2 cup of frozen peas and carrots defrosted in warm water, 1/2 chopped onion together with egg. Add a dash of canola or vegetable oil to pan. Sprinkle some garlic powder if you have some. Wait until oil gets hot then pour the egg mixture into pan. With a spatula, stir egg mixture until done. Make sure onions and frozen carrots are cooked and hot.
Place omelette on platter and drizzle some oyster sauce over the top.
Viola, you can do it!. A side note, for the ,meat lovers, you can add sliced hotdogs to egg mixture.
