- In a bowl, carefully mix the egg whites with the water and salt. Use chopsticks so as not to create bubbles. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Steam for 7 minutes over medium high heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the canola oil in a frying pan, and stir-fry the mushrooms over medium heat till cooked and soft. Add the crabmeat to the mushrooms, and then, the stock. Bring it to a boil, and then stir in the cornstarch mixture until the sauce has thickened a bit.
- Spoon the crabmeat and mushrooms over the steamed egg white and serve.

Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
