foo yong
/fuː ˈjɒŋ
/noun [mass noun]
A Chinese dish or sauce made with egg as a main ingredient.We have a habit in this country of transforming even the simplest culinary import (Neapolitan pizza, Cantonese egg foo yong) into a bland, bulky version of its former self....
- For the egg foo yong, in a medium sauté pan, heat one tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.
- According to our server at Lotus Hunan, it's because egg foo yong takes so much more time to cook than typical Chinese restaurant dishes that are prepared quickly by deep-frying or stir-frying.
