The Classic Egg Fu Yung
Ingredients
-
The Base: 3 Large Eggs, well beaten.
-
The Filling: 3 Dried Shiitake mushrooms (soaked in hot water for 20 mins, drained, and finely shredded).
-
Optional Protein: 60g Chicken or Pork mince.
-
Produce: 2 stalks spring onion (shredded).
-
Seasoning Liquid: 1/4 cup vegetable stock, 1/2 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt.
-
Pantry Staple: 4 tbsp cooking oil.
Method
-
Prepare the Egg Base: Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the stock and salt. This extra liquid is the secret to a soft, pillowy texture. Set aside.
-
Sauté the Filling: Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a pan over high heat.
-
If using meat: Add the chicken or pork mince first and stir-fry until browned (about 2 minutes).
-
Vegetarian: Add the shredded mushrooms and spring onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute until the mushrooms are fragrant and slightly browned at the edges.
-
Flash Season: Pour the soy sauce over the mushrooms (and meat) and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Remove everything from the pan and stir it directly into the egg mixture.
-
The "Fu Yung" Fry: Add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil to the pan. Once very hot, pour in the egg and filling mixture. As the edges set, gently push them toward the center with a spatula so the raw egg can reach the hot pan surface.
-
Golden Finish: Let the omelette set into a thick disk. Once the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip it (or fold it in half) and cook the other side for 45–60 seconds. Slide it carefully onto a plate and serve hot.
