Egg foo yung, or egg foo young, is a beloved dish found in Chinese and British American restaurants, but also in Chinese Indonesian cuisine. Comparable to a pancake-omelet, this egg-based dish is a savory preparation in which different proteins and vegetables are combined with eggs and pan-fried until set and golden brown, a color that's different from the moist yellow that is expected in a classic omelet. While usually stuffed with shrimp or pork and vegetables, it has as many variations as there are cooks. Every family has a favorite style and variations abound because this is the perfect recipe for using leftovers. As such, anything goes in an egg foo yung.
This recipe is great as a breakfast-for-dinner, as it is served with savory and umami flavored gravy. It's filling and easy to make, and all your favorite veggies can go in it. Use our recipe as a template for making your own version with your favorite ingredients. Serve with rice to make it a wholesome and complete meal. Before you start, be sure to find lap cheong, the Chinese sausage easily found online or at Asian markets.
