Egg Foo Young Recipe

Egg Foo Young is an American-Chinese omelet dish that fits the Filipino Palate. Just like other omelet dishes; this dish is composed of different ingredients forming a flavorful concoction.

This particular recipe is the restaurant version of Egg Foo Young. Unlike the ordinary versions, this recipe involves deep frying which is the typical cooking method in Chinese restaurants.

I love this dish and I like it better when eaten with fried rice. Of course, making the best fried rice is another matter. Good thing we have some tips on how to make the best fried rice for your guidance.

Happy cooking!
