Clean Out The Fridge Egg Fu Yum Recipes

CLEAN-OUT-THE-FRIDGE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously spray a wire rack with cooking spray and set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Stir together the breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and set aside to soak.
• Meanwhile, prep the vegetables and herbs if using. Give the breadcrumbs one more stir, then stir in the vegetables and garlic if using. Add the egg, then add the cheese and herbs if using. Sprinkle with salt (see Cook's Note) and pepper if using. Stir gently to combine.
• Add the ground meat. Without mixing it in, pull apart the meat with two forks as if you were shredding pulled pork, breaking up the blocks into small clumps. Gently incorporate the clumps until all the ingredients are evenly combined. If desired, taste for seasoning: place 1 tablespoon in a small nonstick pan over medium-high heat and cook until cooked through, 2 minutes per side.
• Scoop out the mixture and gently roll into 1 1/2-inch balls (a #40 cookie scoop is great for this or 2 tablespoons) You should have 36 to 40 balls total. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and cooked through in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

CLEAN OUT THE FRIDGE EGG FU YUM!

Steps:

• Cook ramen noodles according to package. DO NOT add the seasoning packet. Save for another use.
• In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, mustard, seseme oil, baking powder, and soy sauce.
• Drain bean sprouts and bamboo shoots. Drain well and pat dry. These ingredients must be completely dry. You may use fresh bean sprouts, if you like.
• Shred carrots and dice green onions. Chop bamboo shoots.
• Add vegetables and ramen to egg mixture. Mix well.
• Heat 1 T butter (or oil)for each pancake (egg fu yum).
• I make my pancakes by using a small ladle to drop into the skillet. You don't want the pancake to be more than about 3 inches across, or it will be hard to flip. Make sure your skillet is hot, but not screaming hot. I usually cook only one pancake at a time, so I can watch them better and not tear them up.
• Cook in butter or oil about four-six minutes each side. You want them browned but not burned. Do not attempt to flip them until you lift one side with a spatula to see if it is browned.
• Add 1 T butter each time you start a new pancake.
• Set aside pancakes, keep warm.
• For sauce:.
• Chop round steak into bite size pieces. Brown in skillet with 1 T oil. Drop heat in skillet to low.
• add soy, dry mustard, beef gravy, peas, and seseme oil.
• Heat until frozen peas are hot, about five minutes.
• Place two pancakes on a plate.
• Serve with the sauce on top or on the side in a dipping bowl.
