Ingredients

• 225 grams raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 6 eggs
• 100 grams bean sprouts
• 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
• 50 grams carrot (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 240 milliliters chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 2

Add the bean sprouts, green onions, shredded carrot, and shrimp to the egg mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, prepare the gravy by combining the chicken broth, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.

Step 6

Pour a ladleful of the egg mixture (about 1/3 of the total mixture) into the skillet, spreading it into a round shape. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and set, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the cooked Egg Foo Young to a plate and keep warm.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. You should have three omelets total.

Step 8

When ready to serve, pour the warm gravy over the Egg Foo Young omelets, garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired, and enjoy!
