SHRIMP EGG FOO YUNG

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the bean sprouts, shrimp, eggs, mushrooms, scallions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix thoroughly.
• Heat a deep skillet over high heat until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble when sprinkled in. Add oil and turn heat back to Medium-High. Pour in 1/2 cup of egg mixture into pan. Push cooked egg up over shrimp with a spatula to form a patty. Fry until golden brown, turning once, about 4 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining egg mixture. If you need to, add more oil. Keep patties warm.

EGG FOO YUNG (PORK AND SHRIMP OMELETS)

Steps:

• Prepare the pork and shrimp: Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork and shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for another minute or so. Transfer the pork and shrimp to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the wok.
• Meanwhile, make the omelets: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, scallions, peas, bean sprouts, ginger, and the reserved pork and shrimp and stir well to combine. Do not season; salting now will make these omelets watery.
• Preheat the wok over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and one-fourth of the omelet mixture and cook, until the egg is set, about 1 minute. If needed, add a bit more of the beaten egg, pushing in the edges to make the omelet round. Flip and cook until the omelet starts to tighten and brown at the edges, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make 3 more omelets, adding more oil to the wok as needed. Season the egg foo yung with salt and serve with one or both of the sauces.
• Whisk together all of the ingredients and heat in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm before serving.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients except the sesame oil in a medium stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water in the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Whisk occasionally until the yolks set, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the sesame oil. Taste and add more sugar, if desired. Cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm gently before serving.

Turn it over when bottom is done and brown lightly on the other side. Remove omelet and keep warm. Repeat process, adding more oil as needed. OR deep-fry: Heat oil until it foams (it should be about 2 1/2 inches deep). Carefully drop egg mixture into oil with a ladle, tipping the ladle to release the omelets. (For a 3-inch omelet, allow 1/2 cup of egg mixture for a smaller one, 1/4 cup.). Let omelet rise to the top (this will take about 2 minutes). Baste with hot oil to brown. Then flip omelet over, using a spoon and spatula, or 2 spoons, and baste to brown the other side. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper toweling. Keep warm. Repeat process until egg mixture is used up. VARIATIONS: * For the pork, substitute crabmeat. For the Chinese cabbage, substitute celery. In step 2, stir-fry the celery and onions to soften. Then add crabmeat with the shrimp in step 3. * In step 3, before cooking the shrimp and vegetables, covered, sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
