Add shrimp, and fry until pink, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove shrimp to a plate with a slotted spoon,
leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
Combine 1 cup water, soy sauce, sugar and salt; stir into
the wok with the pork.
Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer
for about 2 minutes.
Mix together the remaining 1 1 /2 tablespoons of cornstarch
and 1/4 cup cold water.
Pour into the pan with the pork, and also return shrimp
to the pan.
Return to a simmer, and quickly stir while drizzling in
the beaten egg.
Serve hot over rice.
