Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 stalks (chopped) green onions
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup (chopped) cooked shrimp
- 1 cup (sliced) button mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well beaten.
Stir in the chopped green onions, bean sprouts, cooked shrimp, sliced mushrooms, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet to form a small omelette. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked omelette to a plate and repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil as needed.
To make the sauce, combine the chicken broth, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves.
Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble. Remove from heat.
Serve the Egg Foo Yong omelettes warm, drizzled with the savory brown sauce.
