Shrimp Foo Yung

Ugly duckling, but oh so good.

https://www.justoffbase.co.uk/uncategorized/agycr64aj There are recipes that my sister and I have been making for a couple of decades maybe even three decades. Isn’t that a long time to use the same recipe. As they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I’ve been saying I want to make more Chinese (Asian I guess is politically correct) food and this is a recipe that’s been in our collection for so long, we don’t even know where it came from.

https://sieterevueltas.net/mdpnfr7fs Not the cutest kid on the block by far, but it is so tasty you will go back for another one and then maybe even one or two more and the sauce that you pour over it is just the right touch.

While visiting my sister a while back we were iced in for several days and all we did was make tamales and cook. One night we (she) made our Shrimp Foo Yung recipe and I remembered just how good it was and scold myself for not making it more often.

My sister and I both want to try making these using egg rings so the end result will be a perfectly round circle of goodness.  When I do, I will repost picture of what they look like.

It only has a tiny bit of whole wheat pasta and the remaining “pasta” is made from zucchini.  Since I posted this 1/12 I’ve had almost 2000 views of the recipe.  (Someone’s looking.)

https://www.justoffbase.co.uk/uncategorized/t8ogzan This is what it looked like when I tried to cook in an egg ring.  It would have been a pretty Egg Foo Yung but when I slipped the ring off it wasn’t done enough to keep it’s shape. I may try once again and cover the ring so it will cook from top and bottom at same time and then I can try quickly browning it on both sides. If that doesn’t work then I will go back to the way I’ve been making them for years.

Shrimp Foo Yung

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 c. shrimp chopped
  • 1 c. onion shredded
  • 1/4 c. water chestnuts chopped
  • 1/2 c. chopped bamboo shoots
  • 1/4-1/2 c. bean sprouts canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 c. fresh mushrooms chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • oil for cooking
  • green onions finely chopped for garnish
  • Foo Yung Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. soy saucew
  • 1 can beef broth
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar

Instructions

  1. Beat eggs with a whisk until thick. Add shrimp, lions, chestnuts, bean sprouts, mushrooms and soy sauce and continue beating.
  2. Heat small amount of oil in a heavy shallow pan. Carefully ladle shrimp mixture into pan. Make these the size of a medium pancake. Cook until brown and then turn using a spatula. If they crack, spoon about 1-2 tablespoon of the egg mixture on top of the crack and it will cook and cover up the crack.  These will resemble an omelet. Serve with sauce and sprinkle with finely chopped green onions.
  3. For Sauce: Mix ingredients and cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. This will turn dark the longer it cooks and may take about about 10-15 minutes. (I would start the sauce before making the Shrimp Foo Yung.)
  4. Serves 6.
