EASY EGG FOO YUNG



Easy Egg Foo Yung image

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.

Provided by Starman5

Categories     Vegetable

Time 58m

Yield 4 6-inch diameter patties, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 eggs
1 (14 ounce) can chop suey vegetables (I use La Choy)
1 (14 ounce) can fancy mixed-chinese vegetables (LaChoy)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white pepper
oil based cooking spray

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.

TOFU "EGG" FOO YUNG



Tofu

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.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 patties

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 fresh shiitake mushrooms, chopped

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 stalk green onion, chopped, for garnish
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the tofu, wrap in paper towels and place a heavy weight on top. Press for about an hour. While the tofu is pressing, chop the vegetables.
  • Heat a wok to hot. When hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the celery and leeks, sauté for a few minutes, add the mushrooms and water chestnuts and cook for another minute or so. Place in a bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Crumble the tofu, add the rest of the ingredients and blend well together. Scoop out a 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape into a patty on a oiled baking sheet.

EGG FOO YUNG



Egg Foo Yung image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 bunch scallions
8 large eggs
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms (preferably shiitake)
1 cup fresh bean sprouts (3 ounces)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces peeled cooked shrimp, chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk together broth, oyster sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Chop scallions, separating white parts and greens.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl with sesame oil and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
  • Cook white scallion, mushrooms, sprouts, and 1/4 tsp salt in vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and half of scallion greens, then pour in eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just cooked but still slightly loose. Cover skillet and cook until eggs are just set, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled with remaining scallion greens. Serve sauce on the side.

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.
