Rinse the shrimp in warm water and pat dry. Rinse the green onions, drain and chop. Chop or mince the garlic cloves. Combine the chicken stock, white wine, soy sauce, and sugar and set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch into 1/2 cup water.

Whisk the egg whites into 1/4 cup water and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok, large pot, or frying pan or skillet on medium high to high heat. Stir fry the garlic and scallions about 30 seconds to a minute, taking care not to burn the garlic. Add the shrimp and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth mixture, bring to a boil and boil about 1 minute. Re-stir the cornstarch and water mixture and stir it into broth. Immediately afterward, slowly pour in the egg whites, breaking them up by gently stirring them with a fork. Be careful not to overstir the egg whites.

The dish is ready when the sauce begins to boil and thicken. Serve over the pork fried rice.
