Egg Foo Young (Fu Yung Dan)

Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

6 eggs

1 cu bean sprouts

½ cu chopped scallions

½ cu diced cooked shrimp

½ cu diced cooked ham

½ cu diced bell pepper

Oil for frying

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

2 cu chicken broth

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp water

Begin by preparing the gravy. In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Bring to a simmer.

Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the simmering broth, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Set aside and keep warm.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add bean sprouts, scallions, shrimp, ham, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. For each omelette, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the hot pan, spreading the ingredients evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the eggs are set and lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture.

Serve the omelettes warm, topped with the prepared gravy.
