      Right? I do the same thing. I’ve always thought that Oyster sauce must surely have the same super power as bacon or Char Sui. It is a force of culinary perfection in a class all on its own.

    • @silverdawn813
      @silverdawn813 Місяць тому

      okoy is deep fried vegetable fritters. depending on the recipe, the batter may not even have egg in it. torta (as in egg omelette, not torta mamon) is the closest thing to this, which is basically eggs with whatever filling you want (vegetables, ground meat, seafood, etc)

    @tkjho Місяць тому

    Growing up in HK, never heard of the term egg foo young until after I moved to N.America. It's just something concocted by early immigrants in the same vein as egg rolls, chow mein and chop suey.
    A homemade dish bbq pork in fried eggs was quite common. Diced bbq was stir-fried with green onions, maybe also some sun-dried baby shrimp meat and diced onions. Then beaten eggs were mixed in and cooked till done. It was usually eaten without any gravy and not heavily loaded with veggies.

      @catchnkill 2 місяці тому

      Because Lucas has been Americanized. In China potato starch is more likely to be used although the result is pretty much the same. Since corn is a major crop in US and corn starch should be more readily available. Corn starch all the days in US. Potato starch in China.
