Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups chicken brodo or stock
1 cup white basmati rice
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/4 cup edible flowers, optional, for garnish
4 tablespoons high-temperature oil
10 to 12 asparagus, trimmed of tough ends and sliced on a bias into bite-size pieces or 1 small bunch broccolini, halved lengthwise for larger pieces
2 carrots or 4 baby carrots, scrubbed and cut into julienne or matchsticks
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced on a long bias
1/2 cup mung bean sprouts
Salt and Sichuan pepper or white pepper
6 eggs
About 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1 cup chicken brodo or stock
2 teaspoons cornstarch plus 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing or fino sherry
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground Sichuan or white pepper

Steps:

  • For the rice (if making): Bring chicken brodo to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir in rice and bring to a simmer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to medium low and cook until rice is tender and fluffy, 15 to 18 minutes. Keep warm in the covered saucepan until ready to serve. Top with chives, cilantro and edible flowers, if using, right before serving.
  • For the pork: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and brown pork and crumble. Add salt, pepper, sugar, soy, garlic, ginger and fennel pollen and toss 2 minutes. Add rice wine or sherry and let it absorb, then transfer to a bowl. Wipe skillet and return to heat.
  • For the vegetables and omelets: Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and about half of the asparagus, carrots, scallions and bean sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and cook to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk up 3 eggs and pour over vegetables, tilting the pan to fill in the holes. Top with half of the cooked pork and cover the pan with a silicone lid or foil or kitchen tray. Cook for 2 minutes until the eggs are set, then uncover and fold the omelet in half. Slide out of the skillet onto a serving plate. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • For the gravy: Place brodo in skillet and heat. Whisk up cornstarch with water and add with soy and rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and pepper. Thicken to lightly coat spoon.
  • Serve omelets with a side of rice topped with gravy and lots of sesame seeds.

CHINESE - SHRIMP EGG FOO YUNG



Chinese - Shrimp Egg Foo Yung image

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....

Egg Foo Yung (Pork and Shrimp Omelets) image

Feel free to add pea tips or other vegetables, minced hot chiles...whatever you like. There are no rules here.

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 medium-sized omelets

Number Of Ingredients 32

2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 ounces minced or ground pork
6 large shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 extra-large eggs
3 to 4 leaves napa cabbage, thinly sliced (a generous 2 cups)
1 large carrot, shredded
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed and rinsed in very hot water for 90 seconds
1 large handful soy or mung bean sprouts
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Kosher salt
6 to 8 tablespoons peanut oil, for frying
Egg Foo Yung Sauce, for serving, recipe follow
Sauce #2, for serving, recipe follows
1/2 cup rich homemade chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or sake
2/3 cup white (shiro) miso
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup rich homemade beef stock
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon dashi no moto (instant dashi)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the pork and shrimp: Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork and shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for another minute or so. Transfer the pork and shrimp to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the wok.
  • Meanwhile, make the omelets: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, scallions, peas, bean sprouts, ginger, and the reserved pork and shrimp and stir well to combine. Do not season; salting now will make these omelets watery.
  • Preheat the wok over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and one-fourth of the omelet mixture and cook, until the egg is set, about 1 minute. If needed, add a bit more of the beaten egg, pushing in the edges to make the omelet round. Flip and cook until the omelet starts to tighten and brown at the edges, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make 3 more omelets, adding more oil to the wok as needed. Season the egg foo yung with salt and serve with one or both of the sauces.
  • Whisk together all of the ingredients and heat in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm before serving.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients except the sesame oil in a medium stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water in the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Whisk occasionally until the yolks set, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the sesame oil. Taste and add more sugar, if desired. Cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm gently before serving.
