JUDY'S EGG FOO YONG

Steps:

• Drain the canned veggies REALLY well; I remove the lids and then press, with the lids, down into the cans, in the sink to get as much liquid out as possible; slice the sliced water chestnuts into thin strips (sounds silly but this is how I do it); chop up the mushrooms into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Combine the bean sprouts, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions and whatever meat you've chosen in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center and crack the eggs in there, then break up and 'scramble' the eggs; then just mix the whole dang thing like heck, you should have a nice, eggy mixture where the eggs and other ingredients are about equal in proportion; too much egg and your patties will run, too little egg and the patties won't hold together.
• Heat about a 1/4 cup of oil until hot but not smoking in a good, solid, frying pan; working in batches, add the egg mixture in about 1/4 cup amounts with a large spoon, patting them into circles and 'scooping' the runny side egg mixture into the patties as you work; mix the egg mixture before adding to the pan as the solid ingredients tend to fall to the bottom of your mixing bowl.
• check the bottoms of the patties and turn them over and cook until they become a nice, golden brown; put them on a serving platter to keep warm in the oven, they keep warm very well for quite a while without losing quality.
• Repeat the above step with remaining egg mixture, adding extra oil as needed to the frying pan; the magic formula here is a good, hot, frying pan with enough oil to 'seal' the egg mixture so it doesn't run too much.
• Sauce:.
• Combine water, chicken bouillon cube and soy sauce in a pot and bring to a boil; combine cornstarch and water and then stir that mixture into the boiling broth/soy sauce mixture until thickened (I suggest doubling this, we always consume the sauce).
• Serve the patties over steamed rice, with the sauce.
• Freezing tips:.
• This stuff freezes really well; wrap patties in enough foil to fit a baking sheet then stick the package in a plastic freezer bag and when you're ready to use them, just unwrap the package, reusing the foil, place on a baking sheet and heat at about 350°F for about 15-20 minutes; make your rice and sauce while the patties are reheating and you have dinner in 30 minutes!

EGG FOO YONG WITH OYSTERS

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and when hot, add oysters. Stir-fry 1 minute. Add sprouts, celery, onion, soy sauce and sugar and stir-fry for 1 minute. Place mixture into a large bowl; set aside.
• Lightly beat eggs with salt in a bowl. Reheat the pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and when hot, pour in the eggs. Cook without stirring them, lifting the edges occasionally to avoid burning, and let the uncooked portion run underneath the cooked part. When eggs are firm but still partly liquid, drain the oyster mixture through a sieve placed over a bowl. Reserve the liquid and spread the oyster mixture over the eggs. Fold 1/2 of the egg mixture over the other to make a semicircular pie. Cook 1 1/2 minutes; lift up curved side with spatula and gently flip onto the other side. (The omelet doesn't need to leave the pan; just pivot on folded side.) Cook 1 1/2 minutes. Slide onto a heated platter and serve immediately or keep warm while making the gravy.
• For the gravy, pour the reserved oyster-mixture liquid into the same skillet. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a cup until dissolved; whisk into liquid state in the pan. Boil 1 minute, until slightly thick and clear. Pour over eggs or serve separately.
