Ground Pork Omelet Recipes

EGG FOO YUNG (PORK AND SHRIMP OMELETS)

Steps:

• Prepare the pork and shrimp: Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork and shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for another minute or so. Transfer the pork and shrimp to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the wok.
• Meanwhile, make the omelets: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, scallions, peas, bean sprouts, ginger, and the reserved pork and shrimp and stir well to combine. Do not season; salting now will make these omelets watery.
• Preheat the wok over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and one-fourth of the omelet mixture and cook, until the egg is set, about 1 minute. If needed, add a bit more of the beaten egg, pushing in the edges to make the omelet round. Flip and cook until the omelet starts to tighten and brown at the edges, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make 3 more omelets, adding more oil to the wok as needed. Season the egg foo yung with salt and serve with one or both of the sauces.
• Whisk together all of the ingredients and heat in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm before serving.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients except the sesame oil in a medium stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water in the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Whisk occasionally until the yolks set, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the sesame oil. Taste and add more sugar, if desired. Cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm gently before serving.

OMELET WITH PORK AND WILD GREENS

Steps:

• Rinse the greens well and chop coarsely. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the greens. When water returns to a boil, drain the greens in a colander, pressing out excess moisture. Set aside.
• Place the pork in a skillet, add the wine and bring to a boil. Add two tablespoons of the olive oil, the thyme and the oregano, bring to a boil again and simmer about 2 minutes, until the pork is cooked through.
• Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and stir in the greens. Cook, stirring, about 6 minutes, until the greens are tender and the pork is beginning to brown. Remove the greens and pork from the skillet, season with salt and pepper and mix in a bowl with the beaten eggs.
• In a clean 12-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, heat the remaining oil over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, stir it gently for about 10 seconds, and then allow it to set on the bottom. Allow it to cook about 3 minutes until it begins to brown. Turn omelet over and cook 3 to 5 minutes until brown.
• Transfer the omelet to a serving plate, and cut it into wedges.
