Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 200 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely sliced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1.5 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the carrots, mushrooms, and bean sprouts for 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly.
Fold the cooked shrimp, sautéed vegetables, and green onions into the beaten eggs.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in a portion of the egg mixture (about 1 cup for each omelette) and let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make 3 omelettes. Transfer the cooked omelettes to a serving plate.
For the hot soy sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chicken stock, and red chili flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Drizzle the hot soy sauce over the Egg Foo Yong omelettes and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful meal!
