Recipe View Serve the Egg Foo Yung patties immediately, drizzled generously with the homemade sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken, beef, and pork, and add more mushrooms or other vegetables such as water chestnuts or bamboo shoots.
For a richer sauce, use chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes.
Egg Foo Yung is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
Consider adding a dash of sesame oil to the egg mixture for added flavor.

    This recipe is fantastic! I love how customizable it is. I used shrimp instead of beef and it turned out great!

  • Skyla Walter

    This is a great way to use up leftover veggies in the fridge!

  • Mohamed Hodkiewiczbraun

    I struggled a bit with the patties sticking to the pan. Next time I'll make sure to use a non-stick skillet or add more oil.
