Instructions
- To make the gravy (this can be made well in advance): Place all of the ingredients in a small saucepan except for the cornstarch and water. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside until ready to use. Heat the ingredients in the saucepan until simmering, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Stir continually to prevent lumps until the gravy is thickened. Add salt to taste.
- To make the omelettes, crack the eggs in a large bowl, add the salt, pepper and garlic powder, and whisk vigorously. Stir in the remaining ingredients to combine. (Note: You can add a cup of any protein along with an additional cup of vegetables of your choice.)Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 of the egg mixture into the hot skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the omelette over and cook on the other side until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining omelettes. To serve, place the egg foo young on plates, spoon over some of gravy, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve with a side of rice, noodles, and/or a green salad with Asian Salad Dressing.Makes 4 main servings or make 6 smaller omelettes for appetizers.
