Place shiitake mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes to soften.

Place shrimp in a small bowl with 1⁄2 teaspoon (2 ml) cornstarch and 1⁄2 teaspoon (2 ml) sherry; stir. Place chicken in a separate bowl with remaining cornstarch and sherry; stir. Combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil, granulated sugar, 1⁄4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt, and pepper; stir and reserve. Stir remaining salt into eggs.

Preheat Cuisinart™ Electric Wok to 375°F (190°C). When hot, drizzle 1 table- spoon (15 ml) oil down the sides of the wok. When oil is hot, add egg mixture and swirl it around, spreading it into a thin pancake/omelet. Turn when set and cook on other side. Remove, and roll. Slice into thin strips; reserve.

Drizzle remaining oil into hot wok. Add ham, green onions, mushrooms and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until just opaque. Add shrimp and stir-fry until shrimp are curled and pink, and chicken is cooked through. Add snow peas, peas and reserved sauce. Break up lumps in the cooked rice. Add the rice and reserved egg strips to the wok. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until rice is completely hot. Stir in bean sprouts and 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sesame oil. Mix well. Serve hot.
