Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 units large eggs
- 225 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 3 units green onions, sliced
- 100 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil
- as desired cooked keto-friendly gravy (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat them until combined. Add the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Dice the shrimp into small pieces, about half an inch in size. Add the shrimp to the egg mixture along with the bean sprouts, sliced green onions, and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado or coconut oil and heat until shimmering.
Pour approximately a quarter of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out gently to form a round patty. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the top is nearly set.
Carefully flip the patty using a wide spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully set and browned.
Remove the patty from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil to the pan as necessary.
Serve the Keto Shrimp Egg Foo Young warm, optionally topped with a keto-friendly gravy if desired.
