I love Chinese and Thai food.
I'm looking for an egg foo young recipe and the gravy that goes with it.
Thx!

Geeze, there are a whole bunch of ways to make the Hot & Sour soup, the best use some ingredients found only in Asian grocery stores, like lemon grass & kaffir lime leaves.AmyJ:ok, how about hot and Sour soup that is actually GOOD! I have tried some of the mix things from the grocery story. UCKY!!! But I could just live on hot & sour if I could figure out how to make it. Thanks
Bob3:There are a few different ways to make it, here's one of the "quick & easy" ways:
3 eggs
1 c bean sprouts, blanched
1/2 c pork, cooked, (ham, chicken, turkey, lobster, shrimp, crabmeat, etc)
2 tb peanut oil
2 tb green onions, sliced the long way & lightly chopped
1 tb soy sauce
Beat eggs until thick; stir in sprouts, pork (shrimp, crabmeat, etc), green onion, and soy sauce.
Heat oil in skillet & add pour in some of the egg mixture a little at a time.
Using spatula push eggs as they set over meat to form pattie.
When pattie is firm, turn over to brown other side. Serve with sauce.
Egg Foo Yung Sauce:
1/2 c chicken broth
1/2 ts sugar
2 ts soy sauce
1/4 ts sesame oil
1 1/2 ts cornstarch solution
Mix cornstarch in about 3 ts of water.
Mix all ingredients together. Bring sauce to a boil to thicken.
Increase the cornstarch slighly for a thicker sauce.
For some variation a little ground ginger & 5-spice powder can be added (about 1/4 ts ea)
========================
In some of the other recipes the mixture is deep fried, something I always get yelled at for doing.
Imagine trying to make fritters w/o deep frying...
Dee:LOL...tell the truth, 'Tasha. David is the one who'll be doing the cooking!
Zippsy:Ummmm. Egg foo young only has gravy in the West. No "authentic" Chinese that I know would would put gravy on it. Then again, i still can't find any Chinese thata have heard of fortune cookies either.
