EGG FOO YOUNG RECIPE FOR THE CANTONESE CRISPY OMELETTE

Steps:

• Marinade the pork mince and leave out at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Quickly cook the pork mince off in a small amount of vegetable oil until just cooked. Allow to cool.
• While this is cooling, separate the eggs, keeping the whites in a mixing bowl. Whisk the egg whites until foamy.
• Add the whites to the yolks and stir to combine. Stir in the sugar, white pepper, sesame oil and cornstarch slurry.
• Chop the bases (white parts) of the spring onions into 5 cm (2 inch) lengths. Chop the rest of the spring onions finely for garnish.
• Add the pork mince, spring onion pieces and most of the bean sprouts (save some for garnish) to the egg mixture.
• Heat a wok over high heat and add the vegetable oil when it starts to shimmer, add the egg mixture. Leave for 30 seconds and then swirl the wok around to redistribute the uncooked egg.
• At this stage you can fold the eggs into an omelette shape or cut into quarters and flip the pieces. If you do try to flip the whole omelette it will probably fall apart.
• If it's an omelette style you're going for, you can remove the eggs once it reaches the colour you like. If you're cutting up the eggs cook them on the flip side for just a minute.
• Serve with spring onions, bean sprouts, white sesame seeds and with steamed rice. You can add a little soy sauce if you want more of a savoury flavour.
