You could have at least used WTF instead, no? You must be retarded. Are you retarded, retard? WTF is wrong with you? I hope that you have kids someday, or do now, and that at least one of them turns out to be retarded - seriously. Fuck you. What the fuck?

If you're half as fascinated by food history as I am anyway. Jay - what dialect is that? Cuz I can't figure out in how egg white translates to foo young in either Mandarin or Cantonese...? gansie - I've never actually had egg foo young in/from a restaurant, but my understanding is that it varies regionally and even restaurant to restaurant how it is served. Some do it with brown gravy, some do it with hoisin sauce, some... I don't know, I'm getting all this information from having read Fortune Cookie Chronicles about 2 months ago. However, I did come up with my own approximation of what it might be like, and it was delicious the way I made it. Basically you take a bunch of julienned veggies and cook them to however you like in a small skillet and then pour a beaten egg or two over it and kind of form a pancake-ish thing. I put hoisin sauce on it and used only bean sprouts (cuz that's what I had on hand) and it was DELICIOUS. http://feistybento.blogspot.com/2009/02/feisty-bentos-294-295-egg-foo-young-i.html I'll call and ask my mom later if she knows how to make it, cuz she and my dad used to have Chinese restaurants (the real deal kind but they also did take out because apparently in Mississippi back in the 70s there wasn't a whole lot of demand for real Chinese food. Who knew.). BS – read Jennifer 8 Lee’s Fortune Cookie Chronicles, it talks about the evolution of Chinese food through America and is REALLY fascinating.

However it is basically an omelette with meat / vegetables and there is no standard recipe. The North American versions tends to be very greasy though. And the gravy is just over the top!

"Foo Young" is actually "egg white", so you're actually getting and "egg egg white" dish. @BS:

Egg foo young is American-Chinese. “Foo Young” is actually “egg white”, so you’re actually getting and “egg egg white” dish.
