OK, I just tried making the recipe. Super easy. Super quick. I did the pan fried version. I added finely chopped jalapeño pepper to the onion. While the shrimp marinated, I added a half teaspoon of Zatarain‘s, concentrated, shrimp and crab boil. I also added coarsely ground black pepper to the shrimp. I added just a bit of the finely chopped, almost minced jalapeño to the gravy. I used Better than Bullion roasted chicken base instead of chicken broth. I used Braggs liquid amino’s soy sauce l. Sadly, I didn’t have any bean sprouts. I completed the recipe as described in the video. I will have to say barring, not having the bean sprouts, this is the best egg foo young I’ve ever had in my entire life! The next time I plan to sauté additional whole shrimp, so that when I plate it up, I can ladle on the gravy, then shrimp and then put on the spring onions. I think that’s the only thing that I can think of to make this dish even better.

I'm from Baltimore, Md and Egg Foo Young is a staple in every Chinese corner carryout restaurant. The right gravy is key to this dish and it looks like you nailed it here. No two restaurants make the gravy the same, which is why most folks here find one they love and stick to it! Thank you for this.

You're absolutely right about waiting, but restaurants have advantage 150 to 250 thousand BTU of heat underneath and takes 30 seconds to heat. Also many systems have a fry wok always ready to go for frying chicken pork beef or certain veggies and definitly egg foo youngs. During rush hour many will lattle oil from fry wok to smaller woks to only frying the egg foo young. We used to squeeze omelettes to drain oil. 6 eggs, three orders ?

The best Egg Foo Young I've ever had was in Seattle at a small Chinese restaurant ..The sauce was more like a rue gravy like in your video..I would dream about that dish...So thank you ..can't wait now to make your style Egg Foo Young.with much better results than in my past tries

I think that egg foo young and shrimp in lobster sauce were the first Chinese dishes I fell in love with, as a kid in Monticello, NY in the first half of the 1950s, and in Brooklyn during the second half. Half a dozen years ago I remembered egg foo young, not having eaten it for a half-century, found your recipe, and have been using it since then. Thanks for having helped me to find that childhood favorite dish again! One irony of the explosion of cooking-related information about the world’s foodways, especially by means of videos on the web, is that although I can find superb materials to help me perfect an idiomatically correct “tripes à la mode de Caen,” or an authentic cochinita pibil from the Yucatán, there just isn’t much available that treats Chinese American food with the same care and respect. Certainly much of the food served at mid-century strip mall restaurants (from whatever ethnic heritage) is better left forgotten, but the best of it should not be.

@The Woks of Life , I really enjoyed your video. There's a third method, separate the egg yolks and egg whites, whip the egg whites but not too stiff, fold in the egg yolks and one or two table spoons of AP flour, next fold in all the bean sprouts, shrimp and onion, and just like your recipe you have to mix all the ingredients right before frying. For frying I like to use my flat bottom non stick wok on a natural gas burner, I add 1/4 cup of oil then grab the handle and tip the wok at a 45 degree angle, add a ladle full of egg foo yung mix and fry one at a time, add extra oil for the second patty if needed, after frying two egg foo yung change the oil for fresh and keep frying. If you try to keep using the same oil it will begin to foam because the oil will have taken on too many food particles. With the whipped egg white mix you could also use a flat skillet and do a shallow fry in about a 1/4 inch of oil. For my gravy I use 12oz of chicken broth, 1 Tbs Oyster sauce, 1 Tbs Hoisin sauce and 1 Tbs Soy Sauce, then thicken with a corn starch slurry and finish with a pat or two of butter.

I added just a bit of the finely chopped, almost minced jalapeño to the gravy. I used Better than Bullion roasted chicken base instead of chicken broth. I used Braggs liquid amino’s soy sauce l.

I love, love, LOVE shrimp egg foo young. I was brought up eating it with my dad. We would eat Chinese food often in China Town in Philadelphia. I love it.

I've been cooking Chinese food for at least 40 years. Lately I have been wanting egg foo young because it's the only thing that I have been able to find at the Asian restaurants here in the Houston area that is enjoyable. I've made so many Asian dishes but I've never tried egg foo young! I'm going to try it now. Thanks for the recipe! My sauces breaking down is one of the biggest problems I have. I've never thought to use all purpose flour! Thank you again!

THIS IS THE RECIPE!!! It is an exact dupe to my favorite Chinese restaurant here in Jersey!! I didn’t have the right ladle but I still made it work. I also sat the bowl in the fridge to prevent it from getting too warm. Each party came out perfect. Even if you don’t have the dark and light soy, still amazing. I doubled the gravy recipe and followed everything exact. I can’t believe how good it is.

Yes! It's all in the gravy! I'm a gravy girl!! You could put the egg foo young after mixed, on a larger size bowl of ice to keep it cold. May not be so watery if you are slow like me.

My mother was a fantastic cook. She told me once never use anything but peanut oil to fry. In my whole life I have never bought any oil but peanut oil and olive oil for taste. I’ve made my version of egg foo young when I’ve had leftover pork but the gravy was so interesting and velveting the shrimp was also interesting. I will try this! Thank you!

The gravy is usually the thing that makes the difference as to whether I re-order.... I made this recipe and it went over extremely well, it tasted great and the compliments flowed repeatedly during the meal... thanks... good video

Oh my Heavenly Stars, I simply love Egg Foo Young. Over 20 years ago my friend & I made LeChoy Egg Foo Young from a box. It turned out pretty good but, it wasn't homemade. When I lived in Michigan I could always get great tasting Egg Foo Young from the restaurants. I live in the south but the restaurants here serve awlful Egg Foo Young. No matter what restaurant I go to the Egg Foo Young is extremely awful. Thanks for teaching me the correct way to prepare Egg Foo Young. I'm going to make your recipe very soon. Thanks for sharing. May The Creator of Grace bless you forever more.👍

My adult son has never cared for Shrimp Foo Young until I made it for my other son using your family recipe. Now, my eldest son wants me to make it for his birthday. It's what I am about to do in the next twenty minutes or so. Thank you for sharing.
