Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 stalks (chopped) green onions
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 cup (chopped) cooked shrimp
• 1 cup (sliced) button mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well beaten.

Step 2

Stir in the chopped green onions, bean sprouts, cooked shrimp, sliced mushrooms, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet to form a small omelette. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked omelette to a plate and repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil as needed.

Step 6

To make the sauce, combine the chicken broth, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves.

Step 7

Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Serve the Egg Foo Yong omelettes warm, drizzled with the savory brown sauce.
