Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 200 grams chicken breast
• 100 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 100 grams mung bean sprouts
• 3 stalks scallions
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by chopping the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and lightly season them with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the red bell pepper and chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped chicken, shrimp, mung bean sprouts, red bell pepper slices, and the white parts of the scallions into the egg mixture.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, ladle a portion of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a small pancake. Cook each side for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked Egg Foo Young to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 8

Garnish with the green parts of the scallions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot, preferably with a side of steamed rice.
