Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 3 mushrooms, diced
• 0.5 cup cooked chicken, shrimp, or pork (optional, diced)
• 0.5 teaspoon soy sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for sauce)
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 2

Add the bean sprouts, green onions, mushrooms, and the optional cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or pork). Stir to evenly incorporate all ingredients.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 4

Ladle half of the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a small pancake shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set and lightly golden.

Step 5

Flip the egg pancake carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and the rest of the egg mixture to make the second pancake.

Step 7

To make the oriental sauce, combine chicken stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 9

Pour the oriental sauce over the cooked Egg Foo Yung pancakes and serve immediately.
