BETTER THAN TAKEOUT: Authentic HK Style Egg Foo Young 

I remember first time in a hong kong diner, a kid with his dad called the dish: Egg Too young. The waitress laughed and said that: Yes, the eggs are young. Haven't turned into a chicken yet! I will definitely try your recipes. You are one of the the RU-vidrs who deserve the title of "Aunt Mandy".

I love her Canto accent. Sounds so cute.

This is a perfect recipe for me since I live alone! I love Chinese food! You have helped me to satisfy my cravings for good Chinese food and save money on my grocery bill. Thank you again for all that you teach us!

I've never tried Chinese food and I hate cooking but since I began to watch this channel I've been making some of the recipes and now I love it!!! I Can't wait ti try this one.

Amazing synchronicity, my wife and mother in-law requested I make some authentic Egg Foo Young. Thank you!!!!

Mandy, I have been watching your channel for some years now and you never cease to amaze me with your simple recipes and your explanations including substitution of ingredients. 😀👍. G'day from Queensland Australia.

This looks amazing and full of flavour can't wait to try it. Cheers.

Love your vids. The recipes are easy to make and you always remember to tell what's a good substitute for the harder to find ingredients. Thanks for posting these! 🍜

Great directions as always! I hope you never stop posting such great videos!

I love egg foo yung!! I prefer eggs cooked crispy the way you did it or Thai style fried eggs. PS- your lipstick is always gorgeous!

I’m so glad you made this video! This is my All time favorite Chinese dish.

She brightens every viewers day with her pleasant demeanor.

Gonna try this on Saturday. I like house special egg foo young so I’ll add chicken also

I love your kitchen. It is giving me ideas as to how my kitchen should look. As usual, the food is fantastic. I love how you can explain in 5 minutes what it takes most people 15-20 minutes. I don’t always have time so I appreciate your technique. I also enjoy that you eat the food you cook.

I love that you explain the etymology of the dish’s name, thank you! Looks delish!!

I have followed your previous recipe for YEARS. Great to see an update!! 🤗

Thank you for this new recipe! I love your older version and can't wait to try this one!

I lived in HK in the nineties and have been a frequent return visitor, but I've never had this dish. I'll have to try it, thanks Mandy!

I just looked at the old vid for Char Sui and boy oh boy, how times have changed! Love your clear and thorough videos. Thank you so much.

Is she a professional chef. Everything looks so perfect and delicious. My husband has tried several times to stir fry without a wok. It's not very good, but I just said let's get a wok. Her wok looks good and it has the flat bottom.

Hi Mandy, your wok flipping technique is awesome. The grandkids will love this. 💜

This looks delicious and I LOVE your accent! I've heard Chinese accent before but yours is lovely.

I love your wok and watching your channel. Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes! 😊

I’ve never had egg foo young before, mainly because there’s always something else on the restaurant menu that I want to try that I can’t easily cook at home. Your recipe is definitely friendly for home cooks. Thanks for another great recipe I do not eat meat, so I used bbq’d tofu and rehydrated shiitakes instead of shrimp and char siu. It definitely has everything needed to be comfort food to me. I am sold on the crispy instead of soft omelette as well.

I love your videos and recipes! You give such excellent, clear directions! I enjoy the fun facts sprinkled here and there :)

Thank you. I made my very American version of egg foo young for my wife tonight and it was well received. I think I with up my game and try your version. By the way I love your style of video presentation. All the best. RR

You are the best chef!! Love your videos!

I love these videos SO much!!!

Yummy! I’ve been wanting some recently. Thanks for the recipe.

I love watching your tips & techniques. Thank you!

Great video, thankyou for this little slice of Asia, can't wait to try it

I will definitely try this one, looks delish and super easy to cook.

Once again I liked the video b4 watching because of the following: Your recipes are so good so I know the food will be good; the pictures are always pleasing; OMG I've been waiting for this recipe - I love egg foo yung!

Looks so good, Mandy! Can't wait to try it.

It looked absolutely delicious. Thank you!👏

I love her she makes everything so easy

Thank you for sharing! Gonna be trying soon!

I'd never considered to add cornstarch to omelette eggs. Thanks for info!

Your cooking videos are a true inspiration, I love how you share your love for food with the world. 😍 Thank you #SoupedUpRecipes! ❤❤

I love watching you cook. Thank you fir sharing your talent.

Thanks Mandy for all your recipes vidéos. They are very useful. In fact, I learned how to use a wok properly thanks to your videos.

This looks simple and delicious!

So funny to see how many differences there are in making this dish. The egg mixture seems to have many simularities around the world but the sauce ?? Yet very nice and educational again. Love it Mandy !

This looks so good! Definitely gonna make it over the labour holiday weekend that is coming up

A great recipe as always Mandy.

Looks delicious to me! I can't wait to try it out.

I know it to be served with sweet and peppery thick gravy like sauce that is served hot! That is so good!

Your videos always make me hungry 🤤🤤 . Best regards from Austria

I'm going to do this on Friday!! Another great video.

Simple and looks good! Good flip!

Thank you Mandy for recipe. I will try this one day. Great Video Mandy!!👍🏾👍🏾

You are the best cooker!❤👍Thanks

I grew up in the midwest USA and the cooks would make use a St. Paul sandwich. That was always my go to egg fu young. thank you for the recipe.

Looks good, will try this soon!

Egg foo young has been one of my favorite foods forever, but this looks better with the crispy outside. Thank you!

Your skin is glowng!!! Thanks for this recipe I will try it this weekend!!!!

I just made this, and my husband loved it. New favorite! It is so easy to make. 😊

Looks delicious ! Will try

Hi Mandy. Please never stop producing your channel !! We look forward to seeing you twice a week to learn something new and exiting. Also, we are so very glad and fortunate to have you here among us. Always looking for you...👍👍👍👍👍👍..Michigan

I haven't watched a video in so long. It's definitely improved, a lot.

So tempting I will like doing ready. Tq sis

Growing up this was my favorite birthday dinner every year with Brussel sprouts. Delicious. I need to make this.

Funny, I just made egg foo young last night from an older video of yours and my family loved it. I will try this version next. I also received the wok you advertised but won’t have time to season it till the weekend. Thank you for all your hard work. 🌹

I made this recipe but didn't have bean sprout so I used thinly sliced cabbage for the crunch. It came out very well.

I like the gravy served with it here in America. Do you have the recipe for that?

Thank you for this recipe.

Love your channel, and seeing you pop up on my Fb feed!

Growing up, my mother would often make egg foo young served over a bed of rice with a brown gravy to top it off, and it was so delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!!

Good information. I will try this very soon. It's similar to egg foo yung, which I love.

I worked in Hongkong for 20 years ago and that is my favorite, char siu with egg..

Egg foo young is probably my favorite dish. I know what I’m making for dinner tonight.

Thank you, Souped Up Recipes, you remind me of my nostalgia and best friend. All these recipes and meals are wonderful. Please buy her products. She is legitimate and wholesome.

I think that's even EASY enough for me to make for you MINDY when we wake up in the morning🤓

Very nice. Thank you.

You are so awesome! Please keep sharing 🙏❤

Yum! Thank you.

Love this

Easy to follow recipe. Nice presentation. Yummy🙏😋

I've made this a couple of times now. Who knew egg foo young was so tasty? Thanks!

Love this recipe :)

I had a lot of eggs to use so I made this for lunch! Changed it a bit to match what I have, turned out delicious!! Thanks for the recipes, Mandy :)

Nice, thank you! I have some Char Siu left from my last experiments, so I´ll try it like that.

Great recipe thank you

I want to make egg foo young. I remember you had a video from awhile back. I find it. Then I look to see if you’re still making videos. Latest video is egg foo young. Glad you’re doing well. Your English is much more confident.

Yum one of my favorites TY.

I visited Hong Kong 31 years ago, and didn't have that dish, but I did eat with some families. What I learned was, they don't use gravies to cover everything, like you see a lot in Chinese restaurants here in the States. I do prefer my omelettes soft, but in this case I wouldn't have a problem with it, because it was meant to be like this. Looks great.

So good!

Beautiful

Im trying this today !

Found yellow chives at market in Manhattan’s upper west side. Made egg foo young (one of a dozen spelling variations) for dinner a few hours ago. Came out beautifully. Pleasant change using sweet soy in place of thick gravy (usual preparation in US). Thanks for another superb recipe and video guidance.

Wow!😊So Delicious. Thank You So Much 🙏🌺. I Subscribed to your Channel ✅

This video very timely! I just got bean sprouts from the market today and was thinking what else to make them with. Well I guess I have an answer 😊

I've never had it with pork or shrimp. I need to try this recipe it looks amazing

One of my all time favorites…❤

So amazing!

I grew up in SGV. This was my favorite Chinese omelette. Shout out to Paul's kitchen! They closed down. But the best Chinese restaurant in Montery Park

My staple during my days in HK!!! Gooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.yum.

I was lucky to win this wok in a New Year's giveaway. I've had a lot of woks in my long life but this is my favorite: REALLY easy to use. And the recipes: superb! As someone below said, my local Chinese restaurants are furious...tant pis to them!

The first time I bought garlic chives, I didn't realize what I was buying. They were just labeled chives and the were wrapped the cling wrap and a rubber band so I couldn't see the difference. I was happy when I went to use them. I was making an omelette and the flavor was so good with green onions, mushrooms and chili peppers the omelette. Yum! They're a great addition to fried rice and noodles bowls like ramen. Now I buy them when I see them along with culantro... Must have culantro when I can get it and thankfully it's not rare here thanks to the great Asian community here and all the wonderful Chinese, Korean and "Asian" stores in my city. Even if I lived 50 or more miles away I would drive here at least once a month for kimchee and other ingredients. I know I'm spoiled even though I live in KY... Lexington BTW.
