Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 bunch chopped scallions
  • 15 tater tots thawed
  • 5 eggs
  • 1.5 cups veggie stock
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Thai chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • cornstarch

Instructions

  • Put the mushrooms, bean sprouts, carrots, celery, and scallions into preheated frying pan with some oil. Cook on high for 5 minutes until softened. Remove to a bowl.
  • Add the tots and mix well until the tots are all broken up and incorporated.
  • Whisk the eggs together and add most of them, stir well and add more eggs if needed. You want it to be pretty eggy but not fully drowning in egg.
  • Meanwhile, heat up the stock, soy sauce, chili paste, rice vinegar, and honey. Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a few splashes of cold water to form a paste. Add to the simmering sauce and whisk. Check for thickness and repeat with more cornstarch until the sauce is the desired thickness.
  • Cook the egg foo young in a well oiled hot frying pan by scooping out about a half cup worth at a time into the pan. Cook a few minutes per side and remove on to a rack when done. If doing many batches you can put the rack into a warm oven while you finish.
  • Serve the egg foo young on a plate and smother in the sauce.
