Does anyone ever order Egg Foo Young at chinese restaurants? I didn't think so. However, I had to do something with a bunch of leftover beaten eggs once and came up with this. My husband LOVES it, and he hates chinese food. Try it- they're super fast and quite yummy.
Egg Foo Yummm!!!!
5 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
2 Tsp. Corn starch
1 C. fresh bean sprouts (or half a can of sprouts)
1 C. frozen peas, corn, carrot and green bean mix
1 can tiny shrimp, or 1 C. chopped ham
Canola oil
Put 1/4 C. oil in large pan and heat. Scoop out mixture one half cup at a time and place into hot oil. Use spatula to keep batter from spreading out across pan. Once eggs are set and not running anymore, place lid on pan and cook on med. heat for 3 minutes. Turn with spatula and continue cooking until firm in center. Place on plate and smother with gravy. (below)
Chinese Gravy
1/4 C. Brown or chicken gravy mix
1 1/2 C. water
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
1 tsp. canola oil
corn starch for thickening if needed
In saucepan combine gravy mix and water. Whisk until lumps are gone. Add soy sauce and oil and heat until sauce comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Lower heat and simmer, stirring often. (Mix 1 Tbsp.cornstarch with 3 Tbsp. water and add to gravy if not thick enough.) Pour over Egg Foo Yummm and enjoy!
