Egg Foo Young

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup bean sprouts (washed and drained)
• 1/2 cup cooked chicken (diced, or shrimp)
• 1/4 cup bell peppers (diced)
• 1/4 cup green onions (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup shiitake mushrooms (diced)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch (dissolved in 2 tablespoons water)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. 1

   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!

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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!
