Egg foo young? How it is different from a omelette?

It is a American-style Chinese omelette that is crispy on the outside, filled with meat and vegetables, then deep-fried in a wok and topped with gravy made with soy sauce and thickeners. Whereas, omelette is mostly shallow fried or deep-fried (in the Chinese version) but with no gravy on the top.

Keto Egg Foo Young – Recipe Variations

Meat – Use any meat available in hand, like ground chicken, shrimp, pork, beef, or ham. If you have leftover cooked meat, chop it and add to the mixing bowl with eggs.
