EGG FOO YUNG (FOR 2) WITH ORIENTAL SAUCE
From Alberta Egg Producers website. This tastes a lot like our favorite Chinese restaurant's Egg Foo Yung, so I was thrilled to find out how easy it is to make at home! I usually double the amount of sauce, and I like to add a touch of oyster sauce to the sauce sometimes, too. For a complete Chinese experience, we usually eat this with Recipe #228704.

Steps:
- For the rice (if making): Bring chicken brodo to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir in rice and bring to a simmer.

- For the vegetables and omelets: Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and about half of the asparagus, carrots, scallions and bean sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and cook to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk up 3 eggs and pour over vegetables, tilting the pan to fill in the holes.
