Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Egg Beaters or liquid egg substitute
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 0.5 cup Carrot, shredded
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, diced
- 0.5 cup Cooked chicken or shrimp, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Egg Beaters, green onions, bean sprouts, shredded carrot, diced mushrooms, soy sauce, and sesame oil. If using, add the cooked chicken or shrimp. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil or coat the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the hot skillet to form a small pancake. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat until all the egg mixture is cooked.
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, cornstarch, water, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Egg Foo Yong pancakes warm, drizzled with the prepared sauce. Enjoy with steamed rice or as is!
