*Quick Tip* for those crunched for time or if you just don't want to be stuck over a hot stove: you can throw the whole thing on a cookie sheet spread out all the fillings and bake it for 10-12 mins, then use a pizza cutter to divide it for food prepping save some time. Then all you have to do is make the sauce as you need it. :)
The "baking sheet" alternative, is what I was forced to try,.... because the frying pan/wok method NEVER worked for me. My egg mixture always fell apart when I ladled it into the hot oiled pan.... and I could never form the patties, to flip them over. Unless you can get the pan super-hot (like the professionals)..., and which you can't do on Teflon non-stick pans, you'll never get those solidly-formed patties.
Made this for dinner tonight. Used scallions, mushrooms, kale, and bean sprouts. When I put the mixture in the pan I thought it was going to be a disaster because all the egg went to the bottom, exposing all the filling. But after flipping it over, it actually came out perfect in the end. For the gravy I added 1 TBS of oyster sauce to brown gravy powder and mixed it rather thin by using more water than called for. The whole thing turned out delicious. Tomorrow's dinner will be your fried rice recipe. YUMMMA
Mandy‼️ I just made my first egg Foo Yung aaaaaaand IT'S SOOOOOO good!!! I'm so proud of myself! Thanks for your simple recipe and alternative ingredient ideas! Mine was filled with finely minced white mushrooms, finely sliced scallion, diced carrots, finely sliced celery, leftover pork chop, and about 6 large wild shrimps. Soooooo pleased!
I made this last night. I used bok choy, carrots, shitaki mushrooms, scallions and beans sprouts. YUMMY! My mom kept saying she was full and every time I looked at her, she was taking more on her plate! Great recipe, thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely be checking out more of your recipes!
I did it!!!! Egg Foo Young has been my go to favorite at Chinese restaurants.With the pandemic, I rarely go out so do I miss it. I made this last night. It took me much longer than 10 minutes but next time I will order vegetables already chopped. My 17 year old grandson is an honest food critic. He lovedd it! My heart is content. Thank you very much.
I made this was perfect. I didn't have all your ingredients so I used green onion, onion, bean sprouts, carrots, water chestnuts & bamboo shoots. I didn't have corn flour so I used arrowroot for the thicker in the gravy. I will never buy egg foo yung again! This taster 100% better. Thank you so much for sharing! New subscriber!
Li Li hair girl You described my feelings exactly. Just so damned good. I had carrots, green and white onion, leeks and a bag of the Taylor Farms Asian cabbage salad. I also threw in some minced ginger. Worked brilliantly. I fried in a small amt of veg oil and equal part of sesame oil. This is so going in my rotation!
I took Chinese cooking classes from a well known Chinese chef as well as from a woman from China. All dishes were made as they were meant to be, not Americanized. This dish was one of the many we made and your version is spot on. Absolutely delicious! You are delightful.
I was raised on EFY at 10 as a Black America young male, me and my brothers. My mom took us every other two weeks from our house as a single mother. Never forgot..... The gravy.... Still love it and my family. Extremely, hard to find and in taste.
Last Saturday my grandkids were over for the afternoon. WE all got together and made the egg fu young. I cou.d not fry it up fast enough. The were stuffed by 2PM and went directly to sleep. They raved that they could make something themselves that tasted soooooo good. Thank you a ton.
My husband and I have always loved Egg Foo Young. I never thought I could make it like the restaurants do. Until I found your recipe. Omgoodness, it turned out soooo good. Thank you so much for teaching me how to cook Egg Foo Young. My husband said it was the best he's had. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My husband and I just LOVE your programs!! Easy recipes, simple and clear instruction, a short story about your experience with the food -it couldn’t be better! Keep up the good work. Thank you so much!
Made these this morning for breakfast for my daughter and I. They were wonderful. We ate them the way you said you did as a child, without the sauce. We loved them and so healthy. Can't wait to try more of your wonderful recipes!
My Mum and I used to go to a Chinese Restaurant near my hometown when I was young, I would always get the ham and chicken rolls, and the chicken omelette. The restaurant changed hands and it never tasted the same. I found your recipe about four years ago and I’ve had it on my to make list, and this morning I woke up missing my Mum and decided to finally make this recipe. I used carrot and red capsicum (pepper) and some chicken from the night before, and oh my goodness, it looked exactly like how I remember and the taste just sent me right back to my childhood. I sent the photos to my Mum and she wants me to make it for her next time I see her. I’m so happy today! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I learned how to make this in my home economics class back in high school. I lost the recipe many years ago and never replaced it. I came across your recipe and found it to be very easy and looked so delicious. Thank you for putting this out. I did subscribe!
OMG...this was awesome, I missed Chinese food as all the restaurants closed in my area a few weeks after Covid-19 started... this was so good I was dancing around my kitchen... Thank you
@@sk8ercaligirl Exactly! Instead of a... a... "Spanish omelet," this is a "Cantonese Chinese omelet." Sooo many delicious ways to raise the bar on an omelet (or "omelette," if you prefer the U.K. spelling!). Made me hungry just watching. 😊
@@sk8ercaligirl it was so good: I don't eat meat and used tofu and so much flavour it was brilliant. Cheers! Good one. I liked this version because of the shredded veggies made everything faster and easier.
OMG, my fiancé and I just made this for dinner tonight (we used bok choy instead of cabbage) AND OMG, it came out perfect! I can't believe how easy it was. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the story of your mom making this for you. New subscriber here!
I love egg foo young it's so good and the gravy on top makes it better I order this at a Chinese restaurant thank you for teaching me now I think I can make this!
Made this last night. I gotta say...there is no way anybody is prepping all those ingredients and making it in ten minutes! But it was absolutely delicious, and as advertised: better than takeout. I followed the recipe closely, but couldn't find Chinese leeks and substituted some very thinly sliced conventional leek. I also added a handful of bean sprouts and would do it again...water chestnuts would be good as well. Thanks for the recipe, we'll be making this again!
I know you made this video a long time ago, but just wanted you to know we used the basics from your video and the sauce, my husband said it was the best egg foo young he ever had!
My mother used to make this often. We were very happy to have it because she would surprise us with a different meat option each time. Sometime we had bean sprouts or water chest nuts or hobo. It was sooooo good.
First I absolutely LOVE how you refer to your Mom's recipe and memories of her making it for you ❣️ Thank you Mom❣️ I can't wait to try this ❣️ Love from Vancouver BC Canada ❣️ Very grateful here❣️
Sorry to say, even her mom will fool her with those so called Chinese food which you will afraid to order in China. How about some pu pu platter ? I know because I 'm a Chinese.
I grew up in Southern California in the 60s. My mother worked in a Chinese restaurant and we grew up on this food. I love it! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I enjoy the crunchiness of water chestnuts! great video, thank you. I can't wait to try this, its been my favorite since childhood, i usually get the veggie one when ordering take away.
Why Bobby Maxell I do believe you Mr. Johnny Randall done hit the nail on the head with that one. You good old boys got a good point there. Sort of puts it all in perspective now you mention it.
There's a Chinese restaurant in my hometown everyone loves them and their food my dad's a vegetarian he would usually order a vegetable egg foo yong I have memories as a baby eating just the rice and sauce that was my favorite :-) I can't wait to try this out and make it for him
Dec 17, 2019 I just made this egg foo young. You are right!!! It was the best I have ever had in my 59 years of life. Better than any good Chinese place I've been to also. Thank You for showing me how EASY this was to make :) My Tummy is full to the brim.
I am dying to try this! I love it that the chef commented that the sauce is mostly an American addition but still taught us how to make it. What's interesting to me, is that every restaurant I ordered this (California), it always came with sauce. When my sister who lives in Missouri was here for a visit, she was surprised when her egg foo young came covered with sauce. She liked it but still prefers hers without. Now I know what to do when I try this at home... offer the sauce on the side! Thank you, chef! I liked and subscribed to your page!!
I made your egg four young, with the sauce. It was my first dish ever cooking in my new walk turned out beautifully and very yummy. You make it simple to follow along with you while you are cooking. Thank you. I look forward for trying more recipes.
Mung bean sprouts are common in American Chinese, but of the more traditional Chinese I have had, sprouts are only an option...... Side note....I love bean sprouts in my egg foo yung also 😉
Awwwhh you are so precious and cute as a button!! You are my little Chinese sister.. Your videos are adorable and easy to follow. Your recipes are better than takeout. Thank you for saving me some money and teaching the world about authentic Chinese cooking. 🧑🏾🍳😘🥰💕
You have made me a fan this was so easy and I could use any vegetables I had at home thank you so much. I found no need for the meat but I can see where it would taste yummy in there. You have the best demeanor may you prosper in this wonderful new year
Thank you so very much for sharing your mom's recipe of egg foo young patties with others. You made making the patties very simply and easy to understand how to cook. I grew up on these patties as dinner or lunch from a Chinese Restaurant. It was an all time favorite to eat left overs for breakfast. I know when I can't hold anything down on my stomach that these patties agree with me. Thank you for helping me understand how to make egg fog young patties in a easy and simple way on my own. Thank you
Honestly, you get Two Thumbs Up - most American-Chinese restaurants here in the San Gabriel Valley, CA won't make Egg Foo Young - it is considered 'peasant food;' it is beneath them to make it. HOWEVER, It IS My Favorite Dish Ever... I loved this as a child and still love it today - when I can find it good. There was only a few places that I recalled it ever tasting good while growing up. But it is becoming harder to find today; when they will make it, it doesn't have the right sauce or gravy - it's usually dark in color; tasting more like soy sauce than rich and savory. Your gravy looks incredible, and I will add your recipe to my list and try it out very soon. Much Thanks for the tutorial - Cheers
Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm going to make it this week and see how it comes out. I have a large Paella pan - kind of a mix between skillet & wok. Almost no one makes it here and the one place I could go and they would make it special for me closed. Perfect timing as I've been waiting some so much. Thank you again.
My wife is Chinese and is an amazing cook but it is never dishes that are popular in the west. I am going to show her some of your videos to get some dishes I really want. This is on the top of the list. Heck, this is so easy looking I may tackle it myself.
Having repetitive behaviours its part of my autism spectrum disorder. I have missed my egg foo young so much since I moved away from my home town almost 20 years ago now. I was not able to find a recipe that reminded me of my childhood and all the memories that were made. Racing back to the living room for saturday morning cartoons before chores. But then I found your channel and all those amazing memories came flooding back to me. My daily breakfast is back. I know I have posted before but I really want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate your vids.
Thank you!! This looks so good and healthy and I am always looking for new food ideas now that I can't eat gluten, dairy, etc due to autoimmune disease. I am subscribing with the hope you have more recipes like this.
I'd forgotten how much I like egg foo young - used to order it often eating out, but never knew gravy was American addition, nor did I consider attempting my own version...until now! A filling dish: easy to prepare, adaptable, nutritious, complete w/step-by-step directions - I'll be adding these ingredients to my next market-list. Thanx for this yummy tutorial!
Wow' I'm going to have to try this'. Thank you' OMG Yummy' I used the pork + 1 carrot chopped skin on (electric) 1 baby portabella mushrooms chopped (electric) 1 handful of scallions sliced 1/2 (Optional or less, Hot! ) orange/red tiny chili pepper fresh minced 1/4 cup Jasmine rice Serve: Jelly Toast gluten free or Rice For me' better as Dinner, too spicy for my morning.
What a darling, sweet young lady you are. When I was young, the grocery stores used to have Egg Foo Yong kits that I could make. But I haven't seen those for a very long time. I love the dish, so now I can make my own! Thank you! Hugs to you!
Thank you so much for this easy recipe! I just attempted this dish for the second time and it was so much better and faster. I grew up in NYC and now live in Texas. The Chinese food here is few and far between and so overpriced. Not to mention, I get tired of paying $20 for a dish that is around $7 in NYC. It's actually my favorite Chinese food dish and now I'm on my way to perfecting it for my tastes. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU☺☺☺😃
I made this tonight and I loved it. I went to 3 Asian markets and couldn't find Chinese chives, or leeks that look like yours, so I used regular chives and green onions. I agree that the sauce isn't needed, but I really loved the sauce too. I enjoyed the heat from the white pepper and the tiny bit of sweetness. I served it with white sticky rice just to make for a more filling meal and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!
Mandy I haven't eaten egg foo young since I was a little girl. I never found a recipe till just now watching your channel. I'm going to try it looks so good and brings back so many memories Thank you for this post.
I just made this today for my daughter . She loved it and even had second serving. I don't think that's too bad for my first try. Thank you so much for the video!🍜🙏😉
@Hiram Dominguez Jr. "Nothing sweet about the sauce" is untrue. I don't know why you're being so defensive. The heat from the white pepper comes to the front, but there most certainly is a mild sweetness from the sugar.
Chill, everyone. Not worth getting overheated about. I remember a salty sauce with egg foo young, even though the last time I TRIED to eat it (I HATED it!!) was when I was a kid. This recipe looks like something I'd eat, although probably w/o the shrimp. And I'm wondering why ground pork in oil when it's normally rather greasy??
I made this for dinner last night and have to say it was wonderful. What I like most is how the amount of oil can be minimized. Many egg foo young recipes deep fat fry the omelet mix which in essence turns them into "oil sponges" and that's okay if it's how you like it but I prefer as little oil as possible. Mandy's recipe allows the preparer to adjust to personal preference. The gravy was excellent also. Easy peasy lemon squeezey as they say.
I'm definitely making this! I've never had Egg Foo Young, this looks like a less grandiose Japanese Okonomiyaki but just a good. Also essentially no carbs so it is Keto friendly. Thanks!
I followed your recipes and made this last night. The ingredients are similar to your fried egg roll recipe so this is perfect. My family loves it. My wife wanted to eat more but she was already full. Thank you. You are doing a great service to so many. Thank you again!
This is what my parents ordered for me and my little sister to share. When we went to a Chinese restaurant in Sydney. I was 4 and she was 2. We never got through eating a whole one but we loved it. Thank you. 🌸
Made this tonight and my family loved it. I had to change a few of the ingredients because I didn’t have all that are in the recipe and I served it without the sauce. We have no leftovers! 😄 Loved the recipe.
I just found your channel this morning, and made your egg drop soup for my Husband and he loved it, I am going to try Egg foo young tomorrow, I think he is falling in love with me all over again... lol Thank You 😋
Made this following the recipe almost exactly (used slightly different veggies). It came out SOOOO good! The brown gravy took the dish to the next level. 5 stars!!!!!
You have me cracking up laughing your mouth is drooling right now when I seen it I said damn those egg foo young look good and I always see stuff like this when I'm broke LOL and a gravy look like it's screaming
And they're very easy to make I made someone's before and they came out very good I haven't made them in a while but they're easy to make I think I'll make some this weekend
Greetings of Peace and Light. Egg Foo Yong and omelettes are wholesome foods because they contain protein, roughage (fibre/fiber) and cargo. In South East Asia, folks add bean sprouts, turnips, oysters, clams, anchovies, prawns and fine shrimps (like krill). Krill contains omega-3. Fine slivers of young ginger in rice vinegar and melted cheese/mayonnaise are used for dipping in fusion omelette in S.E. Asia. Thanks for uploading.
Stella Anon Thanks for your input. An abstemious diet akin to what Shaolin monks take is no guarantee for longevity. Interestingly, my wife's paternal grandmother became a full-time vegetarian after widowhood. She meditated daily, and lived till 95. When she died, her crown of hair was mostly black! My wife's maternal uncle had a rather sedentary life as an accountant, ate small meals on an unrestricted diet 5-7 times a day. He died at 101. The advent of highly processed food from quick service restaurants (fast food joints) in South East Asia and animal feeds laced with growth hormones and antibiotics coincided in girls having menarche (first menses) as early as 9. Prior to the sprouting of these eateries, most girls had their first period at 12. Best regards.
sennenzen7698 I know it's no guarantee of longevity, but it certainly will help minimise the chance of getting heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. And yes, precocious puberty is a very scary thing, and it's not only the hormones added, but the naturally occurring hormones in the meat and other animal products. This also increases the chances of cancer by about 50% later in life. It's not only about how long you live (modern medicine has made us able to stay alive for longer) but the quality of life you live. Plus, there's ethical considerations. Animals don't need to sacrifice their lives for us, especially as we can actually be more healthy on a vegan diet. Thank you for being very polite though, I appreciate that. We may not agree, but we can still treat each other with respect😊Hope you have a nice day/night.
OOOHHH, it looks so GOOD! I never knew people ate this *in China* - I thought Chinese people began making this in the USA because it was a popular dish for American restaurant customers. I would love to make this soon.
I made this and it’s so yummy 😋 🤤 !! Thank you for your amazing and yet simple egg foo young recipe 🥰. I worked at a Chinese restaurant in my younger years and this is one of my favorite dishes😍.
One more thing, This was far tastier and more healthy making from home. I had a favorite Chinese take-out place here in Atlanta that I would only frequent for this dish. It's been my favorite since I was a child. One time the sauce was sour. I called and told them. She would not remake the dish nor the sauce. I took the sauce and poured it into a pan. I saw the curdles. I realized how some people do not care about what they are serving. It hurt my feelings since I was supporting their small family take-out for years. They even knew me when I called. Like others, that have tried this recipe, I will not be purchasing take-out again, especially from that establishment. This really was a good experience. Keep safe & healthy. :-)
I made this tonight and it was so amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique. I stayed pretty close to your recipe but for my veggies I added some fresh bean sprouts and cilantro. And used green onion in lieu of Chinese leeks. And I used a tsp of sambal instead of fresh chilies. So light and wonderful and completely better than any egg foo young I’ve ever had. Thanks again. And by the way, love your videos. You’re completely adorable and fun! 👍
Just found your chanel today and made this--it was amazing! Didn't have leeks or chives so I used onion and green onion and it still turned out delicious and is going in my regular recipe list. Subscribed and can't wait to try more of your recipes!
It seems this would be very good with green onion. I'm just worried about it would only take small amount of pork mince and being left with the rest of the mince.
Thank you so much for this easy recipe! My family likes it a lot. This time I used the remainder of a pk of coleslaw with thinly sliced onion and chopped celery. Meat and shrimp were omitted because we didn’t have. We served it with Jasmine Rice and your delicious sauce. Yummy!

I am dying to try this! I love it that the chef commented that the sauce is mostly an American addition but still taught us how to make it. What's interesting to me, is that every restaurant I ordered this (California), it always came with sauce. When my sister who lives in Missouri was here for a visit, she was surprised when her egg foo young came covered with sauce. She liked it but still prefers hers without. Now I know what to do when I try this at home... offer the sauce on the side! Thank you, chef! I liked and subscribed to your page!!
I made your egg four young, with the sauce. It was my first dish ever cooking in my new walk turned out beautifully and very yummy. You make it simple to follow along with you while you are cooking. Thank you. I look forward for trying more recipes.
When I order take out , my egg foo young always has bean sprouts , I think . You are so sweet and your video was easy to watch . Thank you .
❤My pleasure
Mung bean sprouts are common in American Chinese, but of the more traditional Chinese I have had, sprouts are only an option......
Side note....I love bean sprouts in my egg foo yung also 😉
Thanks for sharing this. I made this recipe my own and you're right, it's delicious!
Awwwhh you are so precious and cute as a button!! You are my little Chinese sister.. Your videos are adorable and easy to follow. Your recipes are better than takeout. Thank you for saving me some money and teaching the world about authentic Chinese cooking. 🧑🏾🍳😘🥰💕
You have made me a fan this was so easy and I could use any vegetables I had at home thank you so much. I found no need for the meat but I can see where it would taste yummy in there. You have the best demeanor may you prosper in this wonderful new year
OMG that looks good, I have not had Egg Foo Young in a very long time, I think I will cook some tomorrow.
Thank you so very much for sharing your mom's recipe of egg foo young patties with others. You made making the patties very simply and easy to understand how to cook. I grew up on these patties as dinner or lunch from a Chinese Restaurant. It was an all time favorite to eat left overs for breakfast. I know when I can't hold anything down on my stomach that these patties agree with me. Thank you for helping me understand how to make egg fog young patties in a easy and simple way on my own. Thank you

Honestly, you get Two Thumbs Up - most American-Chinese restaurants here in the San Gabriel Valley, CA won't make Egg Foo Young - it is considered 'peasant food;' it is beneath them to make it. HOWEVER, It IS My Favorite Dish Ever... I loved this as a child and still love it today - when I can find it good. There was only a few places that I recalled it ever tasting good while growing up. But it is becoming harder to find today; when they will make it, it doesn't have the right sauce or gravy - it's usually dark in color; tasting more like soy sauce than rich and savory. Your gravy looks incredible, and I will add your recipe to my list and try it out very soon. Much Thanks for the tutorial - Cheers
you make it look doable. i enjoy your site very much.
Can we make love just 1 time?
Than we can have ths egg foo yong in the morning for breakfast
There is a restaurant a couple of blocks down the street from me that makes delicious egg foo young. I don't order it with any protein though.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm going to make it this week and see how it comes out. I have a large Paella pan - kind of a mix between skillet & wok.
Almost no one makes it here and the one place I could go and they would make it special for me closed. Perfect timing as I've been waiting some so much. Thank you again.
My wife is Chinese and is an amazing cook but it is never dishes that are popular in the west. I am going to show her some of your videos to get some dishes I really want. This is on the top of the list. Heck, this is so easy looking I may tackle it myself.
Having repetitive behaviours its part of my autism spectrum disorder. I have missed my egg foo young so much since I moved away from my home town almost 20 years ago now. I was not able to find a recipe that reminded me of my childhood and all the memories that were made. Racing back to the living room for saturday morning cartoons before chores. But then I found your channel and all those amazing memories came flooding back to me. My daily breakfast is back. I know I have posted before but I really want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate your vids.
Thank you for creating this tutorial. This is, by far, my favorite Chinese dish! Very enjoyable just watching and listening to the process!
We have made this recipe twice now.
Really easy to make and wow it's a hit with all the family. Thank you
Thank you!! This looks so good and healthy and I am always looking for new food ideas now that I can't eat gluten, dairy, etc due to autoimmune disease.
I am subscribing with the hope you have more recipes like this.
I'd forgotten how much I like egg foo young - used to order it often eating out, but never knew gravy was American addition, nor did I consider attempting my own version...until now! A filling dish: easy to prepare, adaptable, nutritious, complete w/step-by-step directions - I'll be adding these ingredients to my next market-list. Thanx for this yummy tutorial!
Wow' I'm going to have to try this'. Thank you'
OMG Yummy' I used the pork +
1 carrot chopped skin on (electric)
1 baby portabella mushrooms chopped (electric)
1 handful of scallions sliced
1/2 (Optional or less, Hot! ) orange/red tiny chili pepper fresh minced
1/4 cup Jasmine rice
Serve: Jelly Toast gluten free or Rice
For me' better as Dinner, too spicy for my morning.
Believe it or not, I've never actually had Egg Foo Young. This looks super simple, I think I might give it a try!
What a darling, sweet young lady you are. When I was young, the grocery stores used to have Egg Foo Yong kits that I could make. But I haven't seen those for a very long time. I love the dish, so now I can make my own! Thank you! Hugs to you!
Susie Arviso . Chung King brand. My mom used to buy it. It was yummy.
Her smile and enthusiasm is contagious!..
I was just telling my daughter-in-law about those egg foo young kits!! I miss them
@@WindyBurns Me too!
If you live in the USA you can still get egg food young in a box at winco foods also safeway
Thank you so much for this easy recipe! I just attempted this dish for the second time and it was so much better and faster. I grew up in NYC and now live in Texas. The Chinese food here is few and far between and so overpriced. Not to mention, I get tired of paying $20 for a dish that is around $7 in NYC. It's actually my favorite Chinese food dish and now I'm on my way to perfecting it for my tastes. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU☺☺☺😃
Now it's way cheaper too and I know it tastes better now.
I made this tonight and I loved it.
I went to 3 Asian markets and couldn't find Chinese chives, or leeks that look like yours, so I used regular chives and green onions. I agree that the sauce isn't needed, but I really loved the sauce too. I enjoyed the heat from the white pepper and the tiny bit of sweetness. I served it with white sticky rice just to make for a more filling meal and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!
Mandy I haven't eaten egg foo young since I was a little girl. I never found a recipe till just now watching your channel. I'm going to try it looks so good and brings back so many memories Thank you for this post.
I just made this today for my daughter . She loved it and even had second serving. I don't think that's too bad for my first try. Thank you so much for the video!🍜🙏😉
Job well done sir. One more great memory.
It's nothing more than a vegetable/meat omelette.
@@jonathanparchmont5576 good with left over ham bacon or roast pork
This is one of my favorite meals, Chile Relleno, and omelets. God bless the little hens! We owe them a lot.
Love them EGGS 🥚 💫🙌🏽
Try making tortilla de patata. You’ll love it, from Spain. My ancestral cuisine. Check out “Spain on a fork”.
Interesting. I've never had a sweet sauce with egg foo young. The places I go usually serve it with a more salty/savory dark gravy.
@Hiram Dominguez Jr. "Nothing sweet about the sauce" is untrue. I don't know why you're being so defensive. The heat from the white pepper comes to the front, but there most certainly is a mild sweetness from the sugar.
Chill, everyone. Not worth getting overheated about. I remember a salty sauce with egg foo young, even though the last time I TRIED to eat it (I HATED it!!) was when I was a kid. This recipe looks like something I'd eat, although probably w/o the shrimp. And I'm wondering why ground pork in oil when it's normally rather greasy??
@@bophreyhumgart2953 Ground pork is not greasy at all. It is pretty lean and would completely stick to the pan without the oil.
That is my favorite. I have to drive to get it…..the local Chinese makes it sweet and I can’t stand it. I have been eating the savory for 50 years.
I made this for dinner last night and have to say it was wonderful. What I like most is how the amount of oil can be minimized. Many egg foo young recipes deep fat fry the omelet mix which in essence turns them into "oil sponges" and that's okay if it's how you like it but I prefer as little oil as possible. Mandy's recipe allows the preparer to adjust to personal preference. The gravy was excellent also. Easy peasy lemon squeezey as they say.
Egg Foo Young is my all-time favorite Chinese dish!
I just had some egg with chives today I didn’t know egg foo young was so easy to make thank you so much I can’t wait for the next recipe
I'm definitely making this! I've never had Egg Foo Young, this looks like a less grandiose Japanese Okonomiyaki but just a good. Also essentially no carbs so it is Keto friendly. Thanks!
This is one of my favorite dishes, ever since I was young.
I followed your recipes and made this last night. The ingredients are similar to your fried egg roll recipe so this is perfect. My family loves it. My wife wanted to eat more but she was already full. Thank you. You are doing a great service to so many. Thank you again!
Watched this already but I enjoy her happy cooking style so I'm watching again. 👍
I would definitely make this. She makes it look so easy
I was surprised to see no corn starch being added to the eggs. Looks soooooo good!
This is what my parents ordered for me and my little sister to share. When we went to a Chinese restaurant in Sydney. I was 4 and she was 2. We never got through eating a whole one but we loved it. Thank you. 🌸
Made this tonight and my family loved it. I had to change a few of the ingredients because I didn’t have all that are in the recipe and I served it without the sauce. We have no leftovers! 😄 Loved the recipe.
Thank you so much for showing how to do this! It is my favourite food, and now I can make it at home! ☺️
I just found your channel this morning, and made your egg drop soup for my Husband and he loved it, I am going to try Egg foo young tomorrow, I think he is falling in love with me all over again... lol Thank You 😋
I just made it. It is excellent.
Honestly I don't think he stopped loving you. Maybe it reminds him why he loves you all over again.
I have never known any well fed man to be unhappy. Never.
Tracy TLC congratulations!
Thankyou for the recipe, Egg Foo Young is my favorite Chinese dish. Now I finally have a recipe & can make it myself!!! From AZ USA!!
Made this following the recipe almost exactly (used slightly different veggies).
It came out SOOOO good!
The brown gravy took the dish to the next level.
5 stars!!!!!
My Filipina neighbor of long ago made egg foo young with gravy and it was better than any restaurant. One of those recipes I regret not getting.
I love shrimp egg foo young, will be making these real soon. Thanks for sharing :) :) :)
Made it tonight, it was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for this delicious recipe.
You are certainly a delight to watch and learn from this was one of my favorite dishes growing up and I thank you for sharing this recipe with us
Dear lord...I think I could eat this every day. Thanks for the great recipe!
i always asked for egg foo young with no sauce at the restaurant. then just ate it with sweet and sour and soy sauce. love it!
My mouths drooling right now....
I love me some Chinese food 😋
You have me cracking up laughing your mouth is drooling right now when I seen it I said damn those egg foo young look good and I always see stuff like this when I'm broke LOL and a gravy look like it's screaming

@@PG-is9vr ....This young gal has a marvelous Orange Chicken video I watched a few hours ago.
Jay Ferg5
ME TOO!!!😋
This looks delicious! Will make it tomorrow. You have a beautiful personality, thanks for your recipes.
Greetings of Peace and Light. Egg Foo Yong and omelettes are wholesome foods because they contain protein, roughage (fibre/fiber) and cargo. In South East Asia, folks add bean sprouts, turnips, oysters, clams, anchovies, prawns and fine shrimps (like krill). Krill contains omega-3. Fine slivers of young ginger in rice vinegar and melted cheese/mayonnaise are used for dipping in fusion omelette in S.E. Asia. Thanks for uploading.
Corrigendum: carbo (carbohydrates), not cargo... all thanks to self-correcting option on keyboard.
sennenzen7698 All that animal protein, hormones and fat is definitely not healthy.
Stella Anon Thanks for your input. An abstemious diet akin to what Shaolin monks take is no guarantee for longevity. Interestingly, my wife's paternal grandmother became a full-time vegetarian after widowhood. She meditated daily, and lived till 95. When she died, her crown of hair was mostly black! My wife's maternal uncle had a rather sedentary life as an accountant, ate small meals on an unrestricted diet 5-7 times a day. He died at 101. The advent of highly processed food from quick service restaurants (fast food joints) in South East Asia and animal feeds laced with growth hormones and antibiotics coincided in girls having menarche (first menses) as early as 9. Prior to the sprouting of these eateries, most girls had their first period at 12. Best regards.
sennenzen7698 I know it's no guarantee of longevity, but it certainly will help minimise the chance of getting heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer.
And yes, precocious puberty is a very scary thing, and it's not only the hormones added, but the naturally occurring hormones in the meat and other animal products. This also increases the chances of cancer by about 50% later in life.
It's not only about how long you live (modern medicine has made us able to stay alive for longer) but the quality of life you live.
Plus, there's ethical considerations.
Animals don't need to sacrifice their lives for us, especially as we can actually be more healthy on a vegan diet.
Thank you for being very polite though, I appreciate that. We may not agree, but we can still treat each other with respect😊Hope you have a nice day/night.
Thanks for the great ideas Sen! :)
You make it look really easy. I am really anxious to try this.👍
OOOHHH, it looks so GOOD! I never knew people ate this *in China* - I thought Chinese people began making this in the USA because it was a popular dish for American restaurant customers. I would love to make this soon.
I so love your voice, your mannerisms, your smile, gosh ya know, you are just so likeable that you make me happy while I watch you. Thank you.
Humblehombre Totally agreed! 😁🙏🏼❤️
love the video, your happy presentation really makes these a joy to watch :)
True.
thank you for another yummy dish
i so look forward to recieving your recipes every wed morning always makes my day
Thank you dear. I am getting a dozen chickens, this I think will be my new breakfast every day, I love your channel,
Loved your presentation. I grew up eating egg foo young as a kid. I'm over 60 now. My parents used to bring this home on weekends.
I made this and it’s so yummy 😋 🤤 !! Thank you for your amazing and yet simple egg foo young recipe 🥰. I worked at a Chinese restaurant in my younger years and this is one of my favorite dishes😍.
I'm making this tomorrow! Thank you very much you are adorable!
Very nice, easy recipe. love the way you explain it.
thank you, great job!!
One more thing, This was far tastier and more healthy making from home. I had a favorite Chinese take-out place here in Atlanta that I would only frequent for this dish. It's been my favorite since I was a child. One time the sauce was sour. I called and told them. She would not remake the dish nor the sauce. I took the sauce and poured it into a pan. I saw the curdles. I realized how some people do not care about what they are serving. It hurt my feelings since I was supporting their small family take-out for years. They even knew me when I called. Like others, that have tried this recipe, I will not be purchasing take-out again, especially from that establishment. This really was a good experience. Keep safe & healthy. :-)
I made this tonight and it was so amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique. I stayed pretty close to your recipe but for my veggies I added some fresh bean sprouts and cilantro. And used green onion in lieu of Chinese leeks. And I used a tsp of sambal instead of fresh chilies. So light and wonderful and completely better than any egg foo young I’ve ever had. Thanks again. And by the way, love your videos. You’re completely adorable and fun! 👍
Looks absolutely delicious. This is also a favorite of mine. Glad I found this recipe. Thank you 🙂🙂
Looks so yummy! I love egg foo young..thank you for the recipe.
Just found your chanel today and made this--it was amazing! Didn't have leeks or chives so I used onion and green onion and it still turned out delicious and is going in my regular recipe list. Subscribed and can't wait to try more of your recipes!
It seems this would be very good with green onion. I'm just worried about it would only take small amount of pork mince and being left with the rest of the mince.
@@trueCrimeGuruYes freeze the leftover pork for next time. That's what a freezer is great for, right?
I am absolutely going to make this.
Thank you, you’re so adorable.
Thank you so much for this easy recipe! My family likes it a lot. This time I used the remainder of a pk of coleslaw with thinly sliced onion and chopped celery. Meat and shrimp were omitted because we didn’t have. We served it with Jasmine Rice and your delicious sauce. Yummy!
tried this morning - it was excellent! only veggies but next time with shrimp. Quick and easy especially if you already have the veggies cut up
I love cooking, I could watch other people cooking for hours.
