This restaurant-style version of Egg Foo Young features fluffy, golden-brown egg patties filled with tender shrimp and crunchy bean sprouts. The dish is completed with a signature glossy brown gravy that adds a deep, savory umami flavor to every bite.
To make the gravy, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency. Keep warm.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sesame oil and a pinch of salt.
Stir the shrimp, bean sprouts, and chopped green onions into the egg mixture.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Ladle about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the pan to form a patty. You can cook 2-3 patties at a time depending on pan size.
Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until set.
Remove patties and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
Serve the egg patties hot, smothered with the prepared brown gravy.
