We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper.

  • Step 2: Whisk together the soy sauce with cornstarch in a small bowl or cup.

  • Step 3: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and add vegetables, and saute over medium heat until they cook through but are still a little crunchy. Set them aside to cool.

  • Step 4: When cool, add the cooked vegetables, soy sauce with cornstarch, sesame oil, and main ingredient of choice (pork, ham, etc.)to the beaten eggs, stirring to mix well.

  • Step 5: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and when hot pour in about a heaping 1/2 cup of the foo yung mixture.

  • Step 6: When the underside browns, flip the patty and brown the other side.

  • Step 7: Serve patty on soft white bread with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and mayo.

  • Step 8: We like ours with a squirt of sriracha sauce but I haven't seen restaurants serve it that way. But it is good.
