Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, finely chopped (optional for extra protein)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Oil for frying (avocado oil or non-stick spray)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Add the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, chopped green onions, and cooked chicken breast (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir to combine until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil (or use non-stick spray) in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Scoop about 1/3 cup of the mixture into the skillet, forming small fritters or pancakes. Flatten slightly for even cooking.

Step 5

Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked Egg Foo Yung patties and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 6

Add the remaining oil to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the mixture until all the Egg Foo Yung patties are cooked.

Step 7

Drizzle a teaspoon of sesame oil over the cooked patties for extra flavor and serve hot. Enjoy plain or with a side of dipping sauce made from extra coconut aminos or soy sauce.
