SHRIMP AND MUSHROOM EGG FOO YOUNG- (BETTER THAN TAKE-OUT)
I love Chinese take-out, and frequently try different recipes to make at home. Never quite making the grade usually. I have to say I fiddled with this one and I don't think I'll be ordering any more "egg foo young" from our local chinese joint. Don't be surprised on how good this is! It's my recipe but the ideas came from a cooking website speciallizing in Asian cuisine. If you have clam juice, or seafood stock or shrimp stock use it, chicken stock will do, and water if you have none. It will make a difference on the result in the taste of your "chinese omelets'." I have yet to master the gravy part the take-out kind, but I never eat it anyway. So I didn't include one here. If you like you can make your own gravy or use a store bought variety. But I don't think you will miss it much. Your option. I'm by no means biased against gravy.

EGG FOO YUNG (FOR 2) WITH ORIENTAL SAUCE
From Alberta Egg Producers website. This tastes a lot like our favorite Chinese restaurant's Egg Foo Yung, so I was thrilled to find out how easy it is to make at home! I usually double the amount of sauce, and I like to add a touch of oyster sauce to the sauce sometimes, too. For a complete Chinese experience, we usually eat this with Recipe #228704.

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.
