EGG FOO YOUNG |
 | |
| We were married for over 30 years before we figured out the Asian version of the American omelet -- egg foo young. | |
| Ingredients: Measurement is unimportant |
Canola oil
Chopped Onion
Shredded Cabbage (Lyd likes a slaw mix)
2-3 Eggs per person
4 mushrooms, chopped [not if Sal is here.]
Soy Sauce
Scallions
| Garlic Powder
salt & pepper
Chopped Bamboo Shoots [optional]
Stuff!!!!! (This can be shrimp, pork, chicken, beef - all finely chopped. If you use most of these, it's called sub gum, but you don't have to use any of it.)
Jar of Brown Gravy (optional), warmed in the microwave | |
| Procedures: |
Sauté the onion, cabbage, scallions and mushrooms until tender. Remove from heat, drain and cool.
Whisk together eggs, onion/cabbage mixture, soy, spices, bamboo shoots and stuff!
Into a pan with oil, under medium-low heat, put a small ladle of the mixture, like for pancakes. Keep the ladles separate, like for pancakes.
Cook until the edges start to brown and it slides when jiggled, maybe 3 minutes.
Flip and cook until desired doneness.
Serve with some of the brown gravy, if desired. | |
| Notes: |
2025-01-14: I used 4 eggs, a small onion and diced pork to make Pork Egg Foo Young.
2024-07-31: With leftover Rosemary ham, and a jar of beef gravy, this worked well.
2022-05-01: We used 5 eggs, no onion and no mushrooms. We included ground ham, garlic and ginger. smaller is better.
2019-01-09: I made beef egg foo young, using some leftover cubed beef tenderloin, which was excellent, and my best batch, even though I forgot the beef!
2006-07-21: Added to our cookbook.
