- Mix cornflour and soy sauce. Then add remaining ingredients.

VEGAN EGG FOO YUNG (TOFU YUNG)
After making the Chicago Diner's recipe for Tofu Loaf ( http://www.recipezaar.com/244215 ), I realized that the consistency was similar to that of Egg Foo Yung. So I experimented and came up with this. Use whatever vegetables and seasoning you like, or even some vegan immitation seafood! There was a comment about it tasting "cheesey"...I realized I put in the wrong measurement for the toasted sesame oil and that could give it a cheesey taste. It it corrected now, my apologies. This gravy recipe works very well, just add some more tamari to the finished gravy: http://www.recipezaar.com/244337

Tips:
- Prep work: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
- Use a hot pan: When cooking the egg foo yung, make sure the pan is hot before you add the batter. This will help prevent the batter from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the egg foo yung, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the egg foo yung from cooking evenly.
- Cook in batches: If you're making a large batch of egg foo yung, you may need to cook it in batches. This is because most pans can't accommodate all of the batter at once.
- Serve with your favorite sauce: Egg foo yung can be served with a variety of sauces, such as soy sauce, duck sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
