Ingredients
- 6 x Large eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 c. Cooked meat or possibly seafood
- 1 1/2 c. Vegetables Oil for deep-frying
Directions
- 1. Follow steps 1 and 2 of "Basic Pan-Fried Egg Foo Yung". (You may, if you wish, not beat the Large eggs first but stir them in with the meat and vegetables till well mixed.)
- 2. Heat oil till it foams (it should be about 2-1/2 inches deep).
- Carefully drop egg mix into oil with a ladle, tipping the ladle to release the omelets. (For a 3-inch omelet, allow 1/2 c. of egg mix; for a smaller one, 1/4 c..)
