Equipment

Large skillet, non-stick pan, mixing bowl, whisk, ladle

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/4 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cups cabbage (shredded)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup bean sprouts (pressed down firmly in cup)
  • 1 cup cooked small shrimp (or large dice medium)

Instructions

  1. Place 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet, and cook onions and cabbage over medium-high heat until tender.

  2. Remove from heat and drain off excess liquid and set the onions and cabbage to the side.

  3. Whisk eggs in a bowl and mix in soy sauce, sesame oil, spices, onion and cabbage mixture, and sprouts.

  4. Using a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.

  5. Ladle about 4 ounces of the mixture into the hot pan, as you would for pancakes, and sprinkle the shrimp evenly on top of each.

  6. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until edges begin to brown, and when jiggled, they slide in the pan.

  7. Flip them over and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.

  8. NOTE: If the Egg Foo Young becomes brown too quickly, finish it by baking in a preheated 350 degree oven for a few minutes.
