    Recipe Introduction


    This Egg Foo Yung is very different because it is deep-fried and therefore has a very light, delicate texture. Shredded roast pork, beef, chicken or turkey can be substituted for shrimp.

    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cornstarch
    2 teaspoons sherry
    5 eggs
    1 teaspoon light soy sauce
