Pork And Shrimp Egg Foo Yung Recipes

EGG FOO YOUNG

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients into the egg mixture, stir to combine well. Make sure the oyster sauce is fully dissolved in the egg mixture.
• Heat up a wok or a pan on high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is fully heated, ladle the egg mixture into the pan. Make sure that you keep the diameter of the omelet to about 4-5 inches wide. Use a pair of chopsticks to transfer the beansprouts and other ingredients to the middle of the omelet. The omelet should be thicker in the center. Let the omelet set, for about 3 minutes before flipping it over. Fry the omelet until both sides are golden brown and nicely puffed up. Repeat the same and use the remaining egg mixture to make a total of 3 omelets. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

EGG FOO YUNG (PORK AND SHRIMP OMELETS)

Steps:

• Prepare the pork and shrimp: Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork and shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for another minute or so. Transfer the pork and shrimp to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the wok.
• Meanwhile, make the omelets: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, scallions, peas, bean sprouts, ginger, and the reserved pork and shrimp and stir well to combine. Do not season; salting now will make these omelets watery.
• Preheat the wok over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and one-fourth of the omelet mixture and cook, until the egg is set, about 1 minute. If needed, add a bit more of the beaten egg, pushing in the edges to make the omelet round. Flip and cook until the omelet starts to tighten and brown at the edges, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make 3 more omelets, adding more oil to the wok as needed. Season the egg foo yung with salt and serve with one or both of the sauces.
• Whisk together all of the ingredients and heat in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm before serving.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients except the sesame oil in a medium stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water in the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Whisk occasionally until the yolks set, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the sesame oil. Taste and add more sugar, if desired. Cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm gently before serving.

SHRIMP EGG FOO YOUNG

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, bean sprouts, green onions, shrimp, and garlic powder in a bowl until well-combined. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and scoop about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet to make a patty. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, and repeat with the remaining egg mixture. Set the patties aside.
• Whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the sauce simmers and thickens, about 5 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the patties.

Steps:

• Place 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan and cook onions and cabbage over- medium high heat just until tender. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid, and reserve.
• Whisk the eggs in a bowl and mix in soy sauce, spices, drained cabbage mixture, and bamboo shoots.
• Using a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and heat. Ladle about 4 ounces of the cabbage mixture into the hot pan, as you would for pancakes, and sprinkle the small shrimp evenly on top of each. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until edges start to brown and when jiggled, it slides in the pan. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through. Garnish with scallions.

PORK AND SHRIMP EGG FOO YUNG

Steps:

• 1. Shred pork. Shell, devein and sliver shrimp. Shred Chinese cabbage stems and onion. 2. Heat oil. Add pork and stir-fry until it loses its pinkness (about 2 minutes). 3. Add shrimp, Chinese cabbage and onion stir-fry about 1 minute more. Then cook, covered, 3 minutes over medium heat. Drain and let cool. 4. Beat eggs. Stir in salt and stir-fried ingredients. 5. Either pan-fry: Heat oil. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of egg mixture into pan to make one small omelet. (Fry each omelet separately.) Turn it over when bottom is done and brown lightly on the other side. Remove omelet and keep warm. Repeat process, adding more oil as needed. OR deep-fry: Heat oil until it foams (it should be about 2 1/2 inches deep). Carefully drop egg mixture into oil with a ladle, tipping the ladle to release the omelets. (For a 3-inch omelet, allow 1/2 cup of egg mixture for a smaller one, 1/4 cup.). Let omelet rise to the top (this will take about 2 minutes). Baste with hot oil to brown. Then flip omelet over, using a spoon and spatula, or 2 spoons, and baste to brown the other side. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper toweling. Keep warm. Repeat process until egg mixture is used up. VARIATIONS: * For the pork, substitute crabmeat. For the Chinese cabbage, substitute celery. In step 2, stir-fry the celery and onions to soften. Then add crabmeat with the shrimp in step 3. * In step 3, before cooking the shrimp and vegetables, covered, sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
