• 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
• 1 medium carrot (shredded)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper.

2. Add the diced shrimp, crab meat, bean sprouts, green onions, and shredded carrot to the egg mixture. Mix well to combine.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat.

4. Ladle about ½ cup of the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out into a circular omelet shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and the edges are set.

5. Flip the omelet carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil as needed.

6. For the gravy, combine the chicken stock, oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch mixed with water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

7. Serve the Egg Foo Yong omelets topped with the savory gravy. Garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy!
