Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 200 grams chicken breast
- 100 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams mung bean sprouts
- 3 stalks scallions
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by chopping the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and lightly season them with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the chopped chicken, shrimp, mung bean sprouts, red bell pepper slices, and the white parts of the scallions into the egg mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, ladle a portion of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a small pancake. Cook each side for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked Egg Foo Young to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Garnish with the green parts of the scallions before serving.
Serve hot, preferably with a side of steamed rice.
