TOFU "EGG" FOO YUNG



Tofu

I love egg foo yung, but wanted to veganize it. This looks like just the thing! Baked instead of pan-fried, it's so much better and flavorful than the eggy version. It's good with or without the gravy. Black salt has a slightly sulfur taste like hard boiled eggs. You can leave it out if you wish. From chowvegan.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 patties

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 fresh shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 medium leek, white and some green part, chopped
3 ounces water chestnuts
1 teaspoon oil
1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black salt (also known as Sanchal or kala namak, or use mineral salt)
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 stalk green onion, chopped, for garnish
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the tofu, wrap in paper towels and place a heavy weight on top. Press for about an hour. While the tofu is pressing, chop the vegetables.
  • Heat a wok to hot. When hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the celery and leeks, sauté for a few minutes, add the mushrooms and water chestnuts and cook for another minute or so. Place in a bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Crumble the tofu, add the rest of the ingredients and blend well together. Scoop out a 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape into a patty on a oiled baking sheet. Brush the top of each patty with oil, flip over and brush the other side. Bake for 15 minutes, gently flip over and bake another 15 minutes.
  • To make the gravy, heat the broth with the soy sauce and sugar. Combine the cornstarch with a little bit of cold water and mix until smooth. When the broth comes to a boil, slowly add the cornstarch mixture and stir to desired thickness.
  • Top the foo yung with gravy and garnish with the green onions, serve immediately.

VEGAN EGG FOO YUNG (TOFU YUNG)



Vegan Egg Foo Yung (Tofu Yung) image

After making the Chicago Diner's recipe for Tofu Loaf ( http://www.recipezaar.com/244215 ), I realized that the consistency was similar to that of Egg Foo Yung. So I experimented and came up with this. Use whatever vegetables and seasoning you like, or even some vegan immitation seafood! There was a comment about it tasting "cheesey"...I realized I put in the wrong measurement for the toasted sesame oil and that could give it a cheesey taste. It it corrected now, my apologies. This gravy recipe works very well, just add some more tamari to the finished gravy: http://www.recipezaar.com/244337

EASY EGG FOO YUNG



Easy Egg Foo Yung image

This recipe uses a can of Chop Suey vegetables and a can of mixed Chinese vegetables instead of individual cans of bean sprouts, water chestnuts, celery, and bamboo shoots. No more partial cans of these leftover when you use this recipe. Very convenient.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 58m

Yield 4 6-inch diameter patties, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 eggs
1 (14 ounce) can chop suey vegetables (I use La Choy)
1 (14 ounce) can fancy mixed-chinese vegetables (LaChoy)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white pepper
oil based cooking spray

Steps:

  • Lightly beat the eggs with the soy sauce and pepper in a medium size bowl.
  • Drain the Chop Suey vegetables, then pick out the bamboo shoots, celery, and water chestnuts and dice into ¼ inch pieces or smaller.
  • Add all of the Chop Suey vegetables to the bowl and mix.
  • Heat an 6-inch skillet (I prefer a cast iron skillet) to a medium high heat, spray the bottom and sides with a vegetable oil spray. If you prefer a thinner pancake, use a 10-inch skillet.
  • Pour one fourth of the mixture (about 3/4 cup) into the skillet and cook 6-8 minutes or until bottom is browned (if using a 10-inch skillet, cook for 4 to 5 minutes).
  • Carefully flip and cook 5-6 minutes or until bottom is browned (if using a 10-inch skillet, cook for 2 to 3 minutes).
  • Respray the skillet with the cooking oil and repeat the cooking steps for the rest of the mixture.
  • Serve plain or with with Easy Egg Foo Yung Sauce.
