EGG FOO YOUNG

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle over medium heat and brush it with some oil.
• Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the chicken, mushrooms, bean sprouts, bok choy, carrots, scallions, bell pepper, grated ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using a large spoon, drop about 1/2 cup of the mixture onto the griddle for each "pancake". Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with a splash of chicken stock to dissolve. Combine the remaining stock, the cornstarch mixture, tamari, hot sauce and sliced ginger in a small saucepan. Boil until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Discard the sliced ginger.
• Put 2 pancakes on each plate and top with the gravy.

CHICKEN EGG FOO YOUNG

Steps:

• To make the sauce bring the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, white pepper and sesame oil to a boil.
• Mix the cornstarch with cold water and whisk into broth, stirring quickly until it thickens. Keep warm on low heat while making the egg foo young.
• Rinse the mung bean sprouts and drain thoroughly. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs with the mirin (or water). Stir in ½ cup (125 mL) of the green onions, ½ cup (125 mL) of the sweet red pepper, sliced mushrooms and bean sprouts. Save ¼ cup (60 mL) of the red pepper and green onion to garnish when serving.
• Heat a teaspoon (5 mL) of oil over medium-high heat in an 8 inch (20 cm) non-stick pan. When the pan is hot, pour in one third of the egg mixture - about a cup and a bit (300 mL). Sprinkle with ¼ cup (60 mL) diced cooked chicken. As the mixture sets at the edges, lift with spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until the bottom is set and golden. The top will be almost set at this point. Slide onto a plate. Invert and add back to pan and cook another minute. Slide onto warm plate. Repeat procedure using more oil to make three more omelettes, stacking them on plate as you go.
• To serve, cut into four wedges and serve with the warm egg foo young sauce. Garnish with the rest of the red pepper and green onion.

• Bring the chicken stock and hoisin to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk 1 tablespoon water into the cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce, then return to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Keep warm.
• Mix the pork, cilantro, bean sprouts, carrots, soy sauce, ginger, minced scallions and garlic together in a large bowl using a wooden spoon until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add the whisked eggs to the pork mixture and combine.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat a large wok over high heat. Cooking in batches, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1 cup of the egg mixture to the wok. Rotate the wok in a circular motion to make a pancake and flip if necessary to cook the center until cooked, about 5 minutes per pancake. Remove to a plate and hold in the warm oven while cooking the remaining egg mixture.
• Garnish with the sesame seeds and sliced scallions and serve with the sauce.

LIGHTER CHICKEN EGG FOO YOUNG

Steps:

• Spray a skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Cook and stir the chicken until lightly browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. With a spatula, spread the chicken pieces out into the bottom of the skillet. Spray again with cooking spray if needed.
• In a bowl, beat the egg whites with soy sauce, and stir in the bean sprouts, water chestnuts, and green onion. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the chicken, and let cook until the bottom is lightly golden and the top has nearly set, about 3 minutes. Flip the egg pancake over, and cook the other side until lightly golden and set, another minute or two.

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!
