Egg Foo Yong


I'm not entirely sure this is a Singapore or Chinese invention since I see it more in ang mo Chinese restaurants, but it's tasty, is a 2-minute stir fry, and goes with my 1/2 hour preparation required for a quick weekday meal.

Ingredients
1 packet of bean sprouts, washed (about 2 or 3 big handfuls)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup frozen prawns, thawed
1 tsp garlic
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp soya sauce
Dash of sesame seed oil
1/2 tsp sugar
Dash of pepper

Method
1) I use a non-stick pan so I don't even use oil. Toss in the garlic and fry briefly until fragrant but before it gets burnt.
2) Add in the eggs and swirl around the pan until you get a pancake. Immediately once the sides are dry, use the spatula to the scoop the sides inwards and keep doing so until its scrambled and mostly dry but still a bit on the runny side.
3) Toss in the tou gey and quickly add all the rest of the ingredients.
4) Briefly stir fry for 1 minute and serve immediately. It goes best with steamed rice.
