Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients into the egg mixture, stir to combine well. Make sure the oyster sauce is fully dissolved in the egg mixture.
- Heat up a wok or a pan on high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is fully heated, ladle the egg mixture into the pan. Make sure that you keep the diameter of the omelet to about 4-5 inches wide. Use a pair of chopsticks to transfer the beansprouts and other ingredients to the middle of the omelet. The omelet should be thicker in the center. Let the omelet set, for about 3 minutes before flipping it over. Fry the omelet until both sides are golden brown and nicely puffed up. Repeat the same and use the remaining egg mixture to make a total of 3 omelets. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Steps:
- Prepare the pork and shrimp: Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork and shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for another minute or so. Transfer the pork and shrimp to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the wok.
- Meanwhile, make the omelets: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, scallions, peas, bean sprouts, ginger, and the reserved pork and shrimp and stir well to combine. Do not season; salting now will make these omelets watery.
- Preheat the wok over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and one-fourth of the omelet mixture and cook, until the egg is set, about 1 minute. If needed, add a bit more of the beaten egg, pushing in the edges to make the omelet round. Flip and cook until the omelet starts to tighten and brown at the edges, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make 3 more omelets, adding more oil to the wok as needed. Season the egg foo yung with salt and serve with one or both of the sauces.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients and heat in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm before serving.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients except the sesame oil in a medium stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water in the saucepan (do not let the bowl touch the water). Whisk occasionally until the yolks set, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the sesame oil. Taste and add more sugar, if desired. Cover and keep warm or let cool, then refrigerate up to 3 days. Rewarm gently before serving.
SHRIMP EGG FOO YOUNG
Steps:
- Place 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan and cook onions and cabbage over- medium high heat just until tender. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid, and reserve.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl and mix in soy sauce, spices, drained cabbage mixture, and bamboo shoots.
- Using a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and heat. Ladle about 4 ounces of the cabbage mixture into the hot pan, as you would for pancakes, and sprinkle the small shrimp evenly on top of each. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until edges start to brown and when jiggled, it slides in the pan. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through. Garnish with scallions.

SHRIMP AND CRAB EGG FOO YONG
This is a very simple dish similar to making a omelet. The difference is in the sauce. The crab and shrimp can be substituted with other vegetables, grilled tofu, cooked chicken or grilled fish, just use your imagination. When using hard vegetables such as root vegetables, blanch them slightly in hot salted water first. Egg Foo Yong is best served with a fresh fruit salad.
