EGG FOO YOUNG

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock and hoisin to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk 1 tablespoon water into the cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, then return to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Keep warm.
• Mix the pork, cilantro, bean sprouts, carrots, soy sauce, ginger, minced scallions and garlic together in a large bowl using a wooden spoon until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add the whisked eggs to the pork mixture and combine.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat a large wok over high heat. Cooking in batches, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1 cup of the egg mixture to the wok. Rotate the wok in a circular motion to make a pancake and flip if necessary to cook the center until cooked, about 5 minutes per pancake. Remove to a plate and hold in the warm oven while cooking the remaining egg mixture.
• Garnish with the sesame seeds and sliced scallions and serve with the sauce.

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.
