Steps:
- Thinly slice green onion, and reserve 1 tablespoon of the top for garnish. Stir the remaining onion into the egg along with the bean sprouts and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of egg mixture into the hot oil. Cook until the bottoms are set, 1 to 2 minutes, then turn over and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a warm serving plate while you make the remaining pancakes.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in the skillet and cook the mushrooms with the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce until the mushrooms are soft, about 3 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the broth, stir into the mushrooms, and cook until thickened. To serve, pour the sauce over the egg foo yung pancakes, and sprinkle with the reserved onion.

EASY EGG FOO YUNG
This recipe uses a can of Chop Suey vegetables and a can of mixed Chinese vegetables instead of individual cans of bean sprouts, water chestnuts, celery, and bamboo shoots. No more partial cans of these leftover when you use this recipe. Very convenient.

Steps:
- Lightly beat the eggs with the soy sauce and pepper in a medium size bowl.
- Drain the Chop Suey vegetables, then pick out the bamboo shoots, celery, and water chestnuts and dice into ¼ inch pieces or smaller.
- Add all of the Chop Suey vegetables to the bowl and mix.
- Heat an 6-inch skillet (I prefer a cast iron skillet) to a medium high heat, spray the bottom and sides with a vegetable oil spray. If you prefer a thinner pancake, use a 10-inch skillet.
- Pour one fourth of the mixture (about 3/4 cup) into the skillet and cook 6-8 minutes or until bottom is browned (if using a 10-inch skillet, cook for 4 to 5 minutes).
- Carefully flip and cook 5-6 minutes or until bottom is browned (if using a 10-inch skillet, cook for 2 to 3 minutes).
- Respray the skillet with the cooking oil and repeat the cooking steps for the rest of the mixture.
- Serve plain or with with Easy Egg Foo Yung Sauce.

CHINESE - SHRIMP EGG FOO YUNG
I love egg foo yung,this one sounds very tasty. All it takes is a few eggs, crisp vegetables and Asian seasonings to create an elegant dish that is perfect for breakfast or any time of the day. To coax more flavor out of the vegetables, blanch or stir-fry before adding to the egg mixture, even if the recipe doesn't call for it....

Delicious authentically flavored egg foo yung. I used Rachael Ray's foo yung sauce, but any gravy flavored with a bit of oyster sauce and soy sauce will do. My husband says this is the best he's had anywhere.

TOFU "EGG" FOO YUNG
I love egg foo yung, but wanted to veganize it. This looks like just the thing! Baked instead of pan-fried, it's so much better and flavorful than the eggy version. It's good with or without the gravy. Black salt has a slightly sulfur taste like hard boiled eggs. You can leave it out if you wish. From chowvegan.

Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. Chop your vegetables, whisk your eggs, and measure out your seasonings.
- Use a Large Bowl: You'll need a large bowl to whisk the eggs and vegetables together. A large bowl will give you plenty of room to work and prevent the mixture from splattering.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the egg foo yung tough. Mix the eggs and vegetables just until they are combined.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will prevent the egg foo yung from sticking to the pan. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease the pan with oil or butter.
- Cook the Egg Foo Yung Over Medium Heat: Medium heat will help the egg foo yung cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the Egg Foo Yung Carefully: When the bottom of the egg foo yung is cooked, carefully flip it over using a spatula. Be careful not to break the egg foo yung.
- Serve the Egg Foo Yung with Your Favorite Sauce: Egg foo yung is traditionally served with a brown sauce, but you can also serve it with other sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce or duck sauce.
Conclusion:
Egg foo yung is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a good source of protein. With a little practice, you can make egg foo yung that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give egg foo yung a try.
