If you love Chinese food as much as I do, you’ll appreciate that this shrimp egg foo yong recipe doesn’t skimp on flavor, yet is a little lighter than your local restaurant’s. The secret? It uses\u00a0egg whites instead of whole eggs, and calls for pan-frying the patties instead of deep-frying them. However, we haven’t made any changes to the\u00a0sweet and savory pan gravy!<\/p>\n
Enjoy this easy Chinese food recipe<\/a> as a quick snack or as a main entree with a side of steamed white rice or a warm bowl of Chinese hot and sour soup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Egg foo yong is a type of fluffy Chinese omelet filled with assorted vegetables and a protein (usually a type of shrimp<\/a> or pork). It’s fried until golden, flipped like a pancake, then topped generously with a thick brown gravy made with soy sauce and oyster sauce.<\/p>\n While the dish is distinctly Chinese-American\u2014created by chefs as a way to use up leftovers\u2014similar egg-based dishes exist in China and other Asian countries. The closest is a dish called fu yung egg slices.<\/p>\n In restaurants, egg foo yong is often deep-fried\u2014giving it a reputation for being unhealthy. However, when made at home, it is possible to lighten it up by cooking it in a skillet with just enough oil to make the omelet golden and crisp.<\/p>\n In a small saucepan, combine the broth, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Bring it to a boil. Whisk together the cornstarch and water until they’ve formed a smooth slurry, then gradually stir this slurry into the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil again, then cook and stir until it’s thickened, about two minutes. Set the sauce aside and keep it warm until you’re ready to serve.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If at any time you feel as if your shrimp egg foo yong gravy has thickened too much, you can add a tablespoon or two of additional chicken broth to thin the gravy. Alternatively, if your gravy is too thin, add additional cornstarch mixed with water and cook for several minutes to thicken to the desired consistency.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, saute the shrimp, mushrooms, bean sprouts and onion in 1 tablespoon of oil until the shrimp turn pink and the vegetables are crisp-tender, about two minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> With egg foo yong, the shrimp and vegetables are meant to offer a contrast to the soft, fluffy omelet. Therefore, be careful to not overcook them. The vegetables should still have a little crispness, and the shrimp should have a soft C-shape.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites and soy sauce. Stir in the cooked shrimp mixture.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil. Working in batches, add 1\/3 cup of the shrimp-egg mixture to the pan. Cook until the omelet is golden brown, about two to three minutes on each side.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can keep shrimp egg foo yong warm while you cook the rest of the omelets by arranging them on an oven-safe platter and placing them in a low-temperature oven. If you have a warming setting on your oven, this is the time to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n Serve the shrimp egg foo yong warm, topped with plenty of sauce. If you’d like, garnish them with black and white sesame seeds and additional green onion.<\/p>\n Leftover shrimp egg foo yong may be stored in an airtight food storage container and refrigerated for up to four days. Leftover egg foo yong gravy should be stored separately. To reheat shrimp egg foo yong, gently microwave it at reduced power until it’s heated through, or warm it in a covered skillet on low heat with a splash of water to prevent it from drying out. Gravy should be microwaved or heated on the stovetop until it’s hot.<\/p>\n Yes! Like many other egg recipes<\/a>, shrimp egg foo yong may also be frozen. Store egg foo yong in the freezer for up to three months in an airtight storage container, separating the individual omelets with layers of parchment. When you’re ready to eat it, first let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.<\/p>\n Shrimp egg foo yong can be served as an appetizer or as an all-in-one entree. Serve it ahead of your favorite stir-fry recipe<\/a> or pair it with a selection of Asian appetizers like egg rolls, pork dumplings<\/a> or even crispy crab rangoons<\/a> for a memorable homemade Chinese buffet.<\/p>\n Overcooking eggs is one of the most common mistakes a cook can make, no matter what type of egg-based recipe you’re using. Cook the omelet just until the eggs begin to set and turn golden, then flip it. In total, shrimp egg foo yong should take no more than four to six minutes to cook.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With egg whites and minimal oil, our easy shrimp egg foo yong

It used to be available in supermarkets as a meal kit--a can of veggies, a can of sauce, and add your own eggs. I tried this sauce, and it seems to be pretty much what I remember--the oyster sauce really fills in with some flavor. Next time I might try a dash of toasted sesame oil. I might also add some chili paste with garlic to the veggie\/egg mixture for a little pop to this fairly bland dish. Although bean sprouts are a traditional component, they are quite perishable, and I think this is a terrific fast supper recipe that can use up whatever veggies are in the fridge or pantry. Thanks for reminding me of this food memory that brings family dinners back in focus.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-02-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurplePizza"},"reviewBody":"It came out very good.

It used to be available in supermarkets as a meal kit--a can of veggies, a can of sauce, and add your own eggs. I tried this sauce, and it seems to be pretty much what I remember--the oyster sauce really fills in with some flavor. Next time I might try a dash of toasted sesame oil. I might also add some chili paste with garlic to the veggie\/egg mixture for a little pop to this fairly bland dish. Although bean sprouts are a traditional component, they are quite perishable, and I think this is a terrific fast supper recipe that can use up whatever veggies are in the fridge or pantry. Thanks for reminding me of this food memory that brings family dinners back in focus.","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"12\/21\/2019 15:16","GUID":"76bf161138ea40359fa09fb28a7b46ee","MemberId":9675629,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Janet","SubmittedDate":"12\/21\/2019 15:16"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51683,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
