SHRIMP EGG FOO YONG (LOW CARB AND LOW FAT)

Steps:

• Place 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet, and cook onions and cabbage over medium-high heat until tender.
• Remove from heat and drain off excess liquid and set the onions and cabbage to the side.
• Whisk eggs in a bowl and mix in soy sauce, sesame oil, spices, onion and cabbage mixture, and sprouts.
• Using a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Ladle about 4 ounces of the mixture into the hot pan, as you would for pancakes, and sprinkle the shrimp evenly on top of each.
• Cook for about 3 minutes, or until edges begin to brown, and when jiggled, they slide in the pan.
• Flip them over and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.
• NOTE: If the Egg Foo Young becomes brown too quickly, finish it by baking in a preheated 350 degree oven for a few minutes.

MA'S EGG FOO YONG

Steps:

• EGG FOO YONG:.
• Beat eggs, stir in salt, pepper & sherry.
• Heat 1/2 to 3/4 Tbs of oil and stir-fry onion and bamboo shoots for 1.5 minutes, add meat, bean sprouts and soy sauce, stir-fry one minute more.
• Remove from heat and cool.
• When cool stir into egg mixture.
• Heat 1 Tsp oil in pan. Slowly pour in approx 1/4 egg mixture into mold (if not using mold you may have to "help" the mixture stay in patty shape). Cook until set & lightly brown, remove mold, turn and cook until other side is browned. Add more oil as needed.
• SAUCE:.
• Bring all ingredients except water and corn starch to a boil. Dissolve corn starch in water, stir into mixture, bring to a boil until thickened. Serve over Egg Foo Yong.

JUDY'S EGG FOO YONG

Steps:

• Drain the canned veggies REALLY well; I remove the lids and then press, with the lids, down into the cans, in the sink to get as much liquid out as possible; slice the sliced water chestnuts into thin strips (sounds silly but this is how I do it); chop up the mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Combine the bean sprouts, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions and whatever meat you've chosen in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center and crack the eggs in there, then break up and 'scramble' the eggs; then just mix the whole dang thing like heck, you should have a nice, eggy mixture where the eggs and other ingredients are about equal in proportion; too much egg and your patties will run, too little egg and the patties won't hold together.
• Heat about a 1/4 cup of oil until hot but not smoking in a good, solid, frying pan; working in batches, add the egg mixture in about 1/4 cup amounts with a large spoon, patting them into circles and 'scooping' the runny side egg mixture into the patties as you work; mix the egg mixture before adding to the pan as the solid ingredients tend to fall to the bottom of your mixing bowl.
• check the bottoms of the patties and turn them over and cook until they become a nice, golden brown; put them on a serving platter to keep warm in the oven, they keep warm very well for quite a while without losing quality.
• Repeat the above step with remaining egg mixture, adding extra oil as needed to the frying pan; the magic formula here is a good, hot, frying pan with enough oil to 'seal' the egg mixture so it doesn't run too much.
• Sauce:.
• Combine water, chicken bouillon cube and soy sauce in a pot and bring to a boil; combine cornstarch and water and then stir that mixture into the boiling broth/soy sauce mixture until thickened (I suggest doubling this, we always consume the sauce).
• Serve the patties over steamed rice, with the sauce.
• Freezing tips:.
• This stuff freezes really well; wrap patties in enough foil to fit a baking sheet then stick the package in a plastic freezer bag and when you're ready to use them, just unwrap the package, reusing the foil, place on a baking sheet and heat at about 350°F for about 15-20 minutes; make your rice and sauce while the patties are reheating and you have dinner in 30 minutes!
