Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cabbage
6 eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup cooked small salad shrimp, or large dice medium cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons green onion tops, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan and cook onions and cabbage over- medium high heat just until tender. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid, and reserve.
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl and mix in soy sauce, spices, drained cabbage mixture, and bamboo shoots.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Chop all vegetables, meat, and shrimp before starting to cook. This will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
  • Use a Large Wok or Pan: Egg foo yung can produce a lot of steam, so it's important to have a large enough pan to accommodate it. A wok is ideal, but a large skillet will also work.
  • Heat the Oil Properly: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the egg mixture is poured in. This will help the egg foo yung cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the egg foo yung in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding will make it difficult for the egg foo yung to cook evenly.
  • Flip the Egg Foo Yung Carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the egg foo yung halfway through cooking. Be careful not to break the egg foo yung as you flip it.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sauce: Egg foo yung can be served with a variety of sauces, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or garlic sauce. Choose a sauce that you enjoy and that complements the flavors of the egg foo yung.

Conclusion:

Pork and Shrimp Egg Foo Yung is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine and can be found in many Chinese restaurants.
