Egg foo young is one of the great comfort foods: a savory omelet loaded with meat and vegetables, fried until golden, then smothered in rich brown gravy.
In this video, Chef Tim Chin shows you how to make a tricked-out take on the classic that delivers even more textural contrast with an ultra-crispy, craggy top set over a light and airy souffléed omelet.
Served with savory brown sauce, crunchy bean sprouts, and steamed white rice, this New School Egg Foo Young is everything you love about the original—just lighter and crispier.
