I lived in Los Angeles for a few years while going to college. I was lucky to have a neighbor from Thailand who love to cook. He made many fine Asian dishes for me and my absolute favorite was egg foo yung. It's extremely easy to make.
If you have a packet of instant gravy mix around that will be helpful. You start by making the sauce or gravy. Take a teaspoon of the gravy mix and put it in a mixing bowl with two pinches of flour. Add about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir this up and then add water or chicken broth until it is very thin. Mix very well with a stand blender or your well-developed bicep. Then cook it over the stove until it thickens. in a pan or in the microwave oven, checking frequently.
you are you are probably going to have eggs for breakfast anyway so take these eggs and crack them into a bowl, adding 4 scallions and about 1/4 teaspoon of soy sauce. You can add MSG if you want but salt is perfectly fine. And if you like a little more depth of flavor, Shake in a few drops of sesame oil.
beat the egg mixture by hand with a good wire whisk but only till Blended. You do not want it to get frothy
if you if you are very skilled and have a Japanese food store nearby, you can put in mung bean sprouts. That is traditional.
put a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet. Make sure the skillet is no more than 8 in across.. You want to crowd these little egg bundles in order to get the best results. When the oil starts to smoke, put the egg mixture in By dollops. This is usually about four 1/2 cup scoops. Immediately the edges will start to Bubble and the egg cake will begin to solidify. When this happens flip each Little Egg bundle and let cook for another minute.
When finished, remove to paper towels to absorb the oil, then to a plate and pour the gravy mixture over these eggs. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Egg foo yung is not particularly high in protein but it's is low in calories. And it's delicious. And it answers the burning question: what DO Japanese people eat for breakfast?
