Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the beaten eggs, bean sprouts, your choice of protein (chicken or shrimp), bell peppers, green onions, and mushrooms. Add in the sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and give it a good mix. Ensure everything's well combined!
- Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. For each Egg Foo Young patty, ladle about ¼ cup of the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Finish off with a dash of sesame oil.
- Place the Egg Foo Young patties on plates and generously drizzle the sauce over them. If you're in the mood, some freshly chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds can add that extra touch!
Notes
- Customization: Feel free to swap out the chicken or shrimp with tofu or other proteins, and use any vegetables you have on hand.
- Sauce Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the sauce to your liking by varying the amount of cornstarch.
- Serving Suggestion: Egg Foo Young pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
- Spice Level: If you like a bit of heat, add a dash of chili sauce or pepper flakes to the egg mixture or the sauce.
- Reheating Leftovers: For best results, reheat leftover patties in a skillet over medium heat to maintain their texture.
