Simple Chinese Egg Foo Young Recipe!

Рет қаралды 207,236

5 жыл бұрын

A takeaway classic with many variations, Egg Foo Young resembles a Chinese omelette that can be enjoyed at any time of day. The ingredients you choose for the filling are flexible, but Jeremy has gone for a vegetarian take on the classic using shiitake mushrooms, spring onions and baby leeks. More like Egg Foo YUM.

I have no problem with the cornflour starch mix, I do that whenever it's available when scrambling eggs, it adds mass, silkiness & softness for me. And yeah I can crack egg with one hand!

@48arris Жыл бұрын

Must be a Brit version of this dish. Looks really good, but here in the States, the egg foo yung filling you often find in our Cantonese take-out restaurants is simply bean sprouts, chopped scallions and whatever protein (shrimp, roasted pork, chicken) you might like. The gravy sometimes is made from a flour-based roux, rather than a corn-starch slurry. I, myself, prefer it this way.

@rachellehuth4597 5 жыл бұрын

My husband and I keep looking for an egg foo young video to get that sauce right. I’m not sure what we are doing wrong but we just can’t get it to taste like restaurant egg foo young sauce. I think it’s the corn starch we can’t get correct. Do you have any suggestions? We found out a year ago my son and I have celiac and we both miss Chinese food so very much. Love your video. Can you explain why you added the corn starch mixture to the egg again and how much. I determined to keep trying until we find a recipe that we can get right. 😊
