-
- EGG FU YUNG for four
-
- 5 large eggs or 7 medium, unbeaten
- 1 c. (227 mL) bean sprouts (or shredded heavy part of lettuce)
- 1/2 c. (114 mL) shredded celery
- 1/4 c. (60 mL) onion
- 1/2 c. (114 mL) cooked meat or poultry, shredded or finely chopped
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL) MSG (if you don't object to it)
- 1 tsp (5 mL) sherry
- dash pepper
-
- Mix very gently with chopsticks; you don't want to bea it. Heat 1
- inch (2.5 centimeters) of oil to medium high, checking temperature by
- seeing if a bread cube will brown quickly. Fry one patty at a time or
- more depending on the size of your cooking pot: four large patties
- will fill a square electric frying pan. If you must do this head,
- reheat (on a rack or crumpled aluminum foil) on a cookie sheet at 450
- degrees F (230 C), or keep warm in a similar set-up at 350 F (180 C).
-
- Serve with sauce:
-
- 2 c. (455 mL) chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp (1.23 mL) MSG (if you use this)
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.25 mL) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.25 mL) ketchup
- 3 1/2 tablespoons (52.5 mL) flour mixed with 1/4 c. (60 mL) water
-
- Combine above and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly
- until boiling and thick. Keep warm over low heat until serving.
