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.

A recipe making egg foo young patties and a delicious sauce to put on top. This is a very special recipe acquired when I worked at a Chinese restaurant to pay for my red '66 VW bug when in high school! The recipe card is tattered and spotted now, but the dish is the best egg foo young I have ever had. Hope you enjoy it too! To serve, place egg patty over steamed rice and put the sauce on top.

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.
