Paleo Egg Foo Yung
This easily doubled/tripled...
Egg Foo Yung:
2 eggs
2 oz. cooked protein: shrimp, crab, chicken, and pork all
work great
1 cup chopped cabbage
¼ cup shredded carrot
4 scallions, green and white parts sliced thin
1 teaspoon coconut aminos
½ teaspoon sesame
oil
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 teaspoon bacon fat
coconut oil for frying
Gravy:
3 Tablespoons avocado oil (or whatever oil floats your
boat)
1 scallion, green and white parts sliced thin
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1 Tablespoon arrowroot
¾ C chicken broth
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon coconut aminos
1 teaspoon fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon Tamiri (can omit and double coconut aminos if
you are soy sensitive)
Egg Foo Yung Directions:
Put about 1 teaspoon bacon fat in a skillet and heat over
medium-high heat. Add cabbage, half of your scallions and carrots. Saute until
cabbage is wilted and slightly brown.
Remove from heat and let cool to the touch. (It gets mixed
into the eggs and you don’t want the hot cabbage to cook the eggs too soon.)
Place protein and vegetables in a large bowl. Scramble the
eggs, pour them over the stuff in the bowl, and mix well. Add 1 teaspoon
coconut aminos and the Chinese five-spice powder; blend well.
Put another 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil in the skillet and
heat over high heat. Get the pan nice and hot, then pour in the egg mixture,
spreading it evenly into a flat pancake shape with a spatula. Cook for 3-4
minutes and lift an edge to check the brownness. Flip it over to cook the other
side.
Gravy Directions:
Heat oil in a skillet. Add scallions. Cook about 1 minute
until scallions are fragrant.
Add arrowroot to oil. Stir to form a paste taking care to
make sure all arrowroot is broken down.
Add coconut flour to mixture and make a paste. Again taking
care to break down all coconut flour balls.
When paste begins to brown, wisk in chicken stock until
smooth
When liquid begins to thicken, wisk in tamiri, coconut
aminos, fish sauce, chicken boullion and salt and pepper to taste.
Pour over egg foo yung and ENJOY!
