This shrimp egg foo young recipe includes a flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the egg patties. I acquired this special recipe while working at a Chinese restaurant in high school to earn money for my 1966 VW bug! The original recipe card is worn, but this dish is the best egg foo young I've ever tasted. Serve the egg patties over steamed rice with a generous spoonful of sauce.

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine bean sprouts, shrimp, eggs, green onions, and garlic powder until thoroughly mixed.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the hot skillet to form a patty. Repeat to create more patties. Fry the patties in batches until they turn golden brown, approximately 4 minutes on each side.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together chicken broth, cornstarch, sugar, cooking wine, and soy sauce over medium-low heat. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Spoon the prepared sauce generously over the cooked egg patties and serve immediately.
