Instructions
-
Sauté the Vegetables: Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and bok choy, sautéing until tender, approximately 3-5 minutes. Once done, remove from heat, drain any excess oil, and set aside.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs. Incorporate the soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and the reserved cabbage mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. Gently fold in the sliced bamboo shoots for added texture.
-
Cook the Egg Foo Yong: In the same non-stick skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Ladle half of the egg mixture into the skillet, forming a large pancake. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Evenly sprinkle the diced shrimp on top of each pancake.
-
Finish Cooking: Allow the pancakes to cook for about 3 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and they jiggle slightly when moved. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through.
-
Optional Baking: If the Egg Foo Yong browns too quickly, transfer it to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to finish cooking.
