Egg Foo Yung Recipe

Here’s a great breakfast idea for anyone looking for something different – Egg Foo Yung. Egg foo yung is a dish found in Chinese American cuisine. Many of you have probably tried it at the Chinese buffets in the United States. It is basically an omelet or pancake with vegetables mixed into it. Feel free to add in or replace whatever vegetables you like or dislike. If you don’t like ham, shrimp or chicken would go great as well. There are a couple ways to cook this – the first way is to cook it on the bottom and then fold it over like an omelet. The second way is to cook it like a pancake. I used the omelet method myself because I wanted it to a little thicker. What I found great about this recipe is the foo yung sauce, it’s absolutely delicious! The foo yung sauce is just a simple combination of chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. Let me know how it turns out. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
¼ cup green onion (minced)
¼ cup bamboo shoots (minced)
4 water chestnuts (minced)
¼ cup slivered ham
1 teaspoon soy sauce
oil (for cooking)
Foo Yung Sauce-
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: In a bowl mix together eggs, vegetables,  ham and soy sauce.
Step 2: Heat a skillet with a little bit of oil or cooking spray and add 1/3 cup of the egg mixture. Cook either as you would a pancake, once lightly browned on one side flip and brown the other, or fold as you would an omelet. Repeat until the egg mixture is gone.

Step 3: To make foo yung sauce – Add chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar to a sauce pan. Bring sauce to a boil. Meanwhile combine cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl. When the sauce starts boiling, stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring until sauce is thickening and bubbling.
