A recipe making egg foo young patties and a delicious sauce to put on top. This is a very special recipe acquired when I worked at a Chinese restaurant to pay for my red '66 VW bug when in high school! The recipe card is tattered and spotted now, but the dish is the best egg foo young I have ever had. Hope you enjoy it too! To serve, place egg patty over steamed rice and put the sauce on top.

SHRIMP EGG FOO YONG



Shrimp Egg Foo Yong image

Slowly I am posting my recipes. When I got to this particular recipe, I asked my (now grown) son if he had liked it as a child. He said he remembered it, but could not remember if he liked it or not. Then he read the recipe... "Oh yeah, I remember it now, yes! Can you make it again?" I know it is a wonderful recipe. I have added my skills as a more experienced cook, and the skills of my husband's cooking to the directions. I just made this tonight, after a number of years, and it did take forever! First I got out all the equipment I needed and then did all the chopping and hacking--that is a long job! Then I started the rice. I found that if I did the pancakes one at a time in the wok, they were in perfect circles. Next time, I will keep them warm in the oven on a low temperature, or in the warming oven of the wood stove! My efforts were well appreciated. This is one of those "only once a year" type recipes! All the vegetables, and some of the ingredients are optional--use what you like best--this is just what we like. I revised my recipe to add the eggs to the wok first, then add the shrimp/vegetable mixture. I had frozen the leftover sauce and shrimp/vegetable mixture the last time I made it. Last night we had leftover rice, that I reheated in the microwave, sauce reheated on the stove top (I needed to whisk it to make it smooth), and I beat the eggs for the mixture. It took about 15 minutes to make dinner... and it was really good!
