Egg Foo Yung

RVlady · 07-14-2007, 08:57 PM

Lately I'm hooked on my version of egg foo yung. Have been going through dozens of eggs.
I dice a quarter of an onion and start cooking it in my large cast iron fry pan in a little butter. I then add 1/2 pkg broc slaw and 1 lb package coleslaw, some mushrooms and some leftover diced pork/and/or chicken. I cook this until all is wilted, about 5-10 min. This is enough filling for 6 patties.
I scramble two xlarge eggs with s&p and a little lite soy sauce.
I use a medium cast iron pan and let 1 Tbsp butter start to brown over high heat, pour in 2/3 the egg mixture, then lower the heat, put a handful of pork/vegetable mixture on top of the eggs, pour on the last 1/3 of the egg mixture, cover it and let it cook until set. Then flip over and cook uncovered on the other side until brown. I tried this with bean sprouts also and prefer the coleslaw/broc slaw mixture instead.
I do not use any gravy with this and eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner,.

Yummy

Thanks. I've been using the canned La choy veggies for this but I love your idea.

Mmmm, great idea to use the broc slaw/cabbage in place of the bean sprouts!

Egg foo yung is the ONLY thing I'll eat bean sprouts in, so I don't often have them in the house - but I DO often have the cabbage and/or broc slaw! Will try it next time!

Gonna try this for sure!!! Funny, I was just thinking about how much I missed egg foo young. I used to eat it once a week for lunch. It's been about 9 months since I had it. Next time I am at the grocery store, getting me some cole slaw mix!!!

This sounded so good that I made myself an Egg Foo Yung Omlet for breakfast this morning.......Yum!!

Kevin, that looks so delicious. Did you use canned veggies or did you make your own assortment? I wonder if you could make this recipe into muffins? What do you think?

I just sautéed
1/2 bag of broccoli slaw with a couple of green onions and a few mushrooms in bacon fat. Then added the eggs, cream and seasoning..
sure...muffins would work.

oh I forgot....and cheddar cheese in the middle
