👨🍳 Instruções

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Whisk them vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Add the rinsed and drained bean sprouts, the finely diced cooked protein, and the sliced scallions to the whisked eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Gently fold everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Cook the Egg Patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Once hot, pour about one-quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet, forming a round patty about 4-5 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up. Use a spatula to carefully flip the patty. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil as needed, to make 3-4 patties. Transfer cooked patties to a plate and keep warm.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Make the Gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a smooth slurry. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry until the gravy thickens to a glossy consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Assemble and Serve: Arrange the cooked egg foo young patties on serving plates, stacking them if desired. Spoon the hot, thickened gravy generously over the patties. Serve immediately, ideally with steamed white rice.
