Steps:
- Bring the chicken stock and hoisin to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk 1 tablespoon water into the cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, then return to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Keep warm.
- Mix the pork, cilantro, bean sprouts, carrots, soy sauce, ginger, minced scallions and garlic together in a large bowl using a wooden spoon until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add the whisked eggs to the pork mixture and combine.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Cooking in batches, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1 cup of the egg mixture to the wok. Rotate the wok in a circular motion to make a pancake and flip if necessary to cook the center until cooked, about 5 minutes per pancake. Remove to a plate and hold in the warm oven while cooking the remaining egg mixture.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds and sliced scallions and serve with the sauce.
MA'S EGG FOO YONG
Ma used to make this for all (7) of us when I was young. She used round eggs molds or a tuna can with both ends cut off to make them perfectly round and to keep the mixture together. These are the measurements she gave me--it makes just and bit--can be easily multiplied.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before starting to cook, make sure all of your ingredients and utensils are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the eggs from sticking and will also help to create a nice, even sear.
- Use high heat: Mas egg foo yung is traditionally cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the eggs and create a crispy exterior.
- Do not overcrowd the wok: If you overcrowd the wok, the eggs will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
- Be gentle when flipping the eggs: Use a spatula to gently flip the eggs so that they do not break apart.
- Do not overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Serve immediately: Mas egg foo yung is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.
