Ingredients

For the Foo Yung

• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 1/4 cup carrots, julienned
• 1/4 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Sauce (Optional)

• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Preparation

Prepare the Eggs:

1. Whisk the Eggs:
   • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.

Prepare the Sauce (Optional):

1. Combine the Ingredients:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
   • Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Foo Yung:

1. Heat the Oil:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Stir-fry the Ingredients:
   • Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
   • Add the cooked king prawns and mixed meats. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
3. Add the Eggs:
   • Push the cooked ingredients to the sides of the skillet, creating a well in the center. Add a bit more oil if needed.
   • Pour the whisked eggs into the center of the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set around the edges.
4. Combine Everything:
   • Gently stir the eggs and mix them with the other ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.

Serve:

1. Plate the Foo Yung:
   • Divide the Foo Yung between two plates.
2. Add the Sauce (Optional):
   • Drizzle the prepared sauce over the Foo Yung if using.
3. Garnish:
   • Garnish with the green parts of the green onions.
