I love Chinese take-out, and frequently try different recipes to make at home. Never quite making the grade usually. I have to say I fiddled with this one and I don't think I'll be ordering any more egg foo young from our local chinese joint. Don't be surprised on how good this is. If you have clam juice, or seafood stock or shrimp stock use it, chicken stock will do, and water if you have none. It will make a difference on the result in the taste of your chinese omelets'. I have yet to master the gravy part the take-out kind, but I never eat it anyway. So I didn't include one here. If you like you can make your own gravy or use a store bought variety. But I don't think you will miss it much. Your option. I'm by no means biased against gravy. Ingredients:
6 jumbo eggs |
1/2 cup shrimp, cooked and roughly chopped |
1/2 cup mixed mushrooms, chopped fine |
1/3 cup green onion, chopped |
1 cup mung bean sprouts, fresh |
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup shrimp stock |
8 tablespoons vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Crack all eggs into a bowl and beat until foamy. Add 1 teaspoons salt, and shrimp stock. Beat well again.
2. Chop shrimps, mushrooms, and green onions. Place each in their own little bowls.
3. In a 6 inch non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoons vegetable oil until it shimmers. Add a small handful of mushrooms and green onions. Fry briefly stirring continually.
4. Add 1/4 of egg mixture to pan on top of mushrooms, and onions. Dribble a little of the soy sauce, and salt into egg mixture now and sprinkle a small handful of shrimps, then bean sprouts on top.
5. Do not stir. Let cook until egg starts to brown nicley along edges of omlette.
6. Using a large spatula flip over and pour 1 tablespoons vegetable oil around sides of pan. Swirling pan so eggs don't stick.
7. When eggs are completely cooked, remove and serve immediatley.
8. Repeat making these omelettes until all ingredients have been used.
