Ingredients

Omelette

  • 4 Eggs
  • 100 g Chicken mince
  • 50 g Prawn mince (or small chopped)
  • 4-5 Spring onion ( cut thin slices )
  • ½ Carrot ( julienne)
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic ( finely chopped )
  • 1 Chilli pepper ( cut thin slices ) ( optional )
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp White pepper
  • ½ tsp Salt (or salt to taste)
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2-3 tbsp Vegetable oil ( peanut, canola, sunflower or any neutral flavoured vegetable oil )

Sauce for Egg Foo Young

  • 1 cup Chicken or Vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch(flour)
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • ⅛ - ¼ tsp White pepper

Instructions

  • First chop the prawns into small pieces. I am using chicken mince in this recipe. ( If you are using chicken meat, you can chop the chicken into small pieces.)
  • To prepare the vegetables, finely chop the garlic cloves, julienne the carrot, cut the spring onion and chilli into thin slices.
  • Heat a wok or pan into high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable of oil. Stir fry the chicken mince for 1-2 minutes then add the chop garlic and stir for few seconds and follow with the prawns. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from wok and let it cool down for few minutes.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add all the cut vegetables, cooked chicken and prawn mince. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, sesame oil and salt to taste. ( If you don't have white pepper, you can add black pepper instead. ) Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  • In a wok or pan, heat 2 tablespoon of oil into medium-high heat, add half of the egg mixture. Once the omelette is set and crispy, flip gently and fry for another 1-2 minutes until cook through. Repeat process to another omelette.

Sauce

  • To make the sauce, add all the sauce ingredients in the pan. Stir well until the corn starch dissolved, then turn on the heat into medium. Stir continuously until the sauce become thick and glossy. Turn off the heat and pour over omelettes. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
  • I usually love to serve over rice. Place the omelette over rice, pour the sauce on top, garnish with extra chopped spring onions. This recipe is for 2 servings as a main meal or you can serve up to 4 person as a side dish.
