Questions about Egg fu yung
What is egg fu yung?
Egg fu yung is a Chinese-style omelette, usually made with beaten eggs and chopped ingredients such as bean sprouts, spring onions and meat or prawns. It is often served with a savoury brown gravy.
How do you make egg fu yung at home?
Beat the eggs, then mix in finely sliced vegetables and cooked meat or prawns. Fry small ladlefuls in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes on each side, until set and golden.
Why does egg fu yung fall apart when you fry it?
Wet fillings and an overcrowded pan can stop the egg binding. Drain bean sprouts and other vegetables well, chop the fillings small, and cook one small omelette at a time; let the underside set before turning it.
What gravy goes with egg fu yung?
A glossy brown gravy made with stock, soy sauce and a little cornflour is a familiar accompaniment. Stir the cornflour with cold water first, then whisk it into simmering stock so the sauce thickens without lumps.
Can you freeze egg fu yung?
It is best freshly cooked, but you can freeze cooled portions in an airtight container. Thaw them in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot; the omelette may be softer and less crisp after freezing.
How long does leftover egg fu yung keep in the fridge?
Refrigerate it within two hours in a covered container and eat it within three days. Reheat only the portion you need until steaming hot throughout.
Is egg fu yung the same as an ordinary omelette?
They are both egg dishes, but egg fu yung usually has chopped fillings mixed through the eggs and is served with gravy. Some versions are fried as small patties, while an ordinary omelette is commonly folded around its filling.
