2. Seasoning: Once the stock is warmed through, stir in the salt and soy sauce, infusing the liquid with a rich umami flavor.

3. Cornstarch Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the cornstarch with cold water, whisking until it forms a smooth paste.

4. Thickening: Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

5. Serving: Spoon the savory sauce generously over each Egg Foo Yung omelet, allowing its flavors to meld beautifully with the fluffy eggs. Alternatively, serve the sauce hot in a side dish as a tantalizing dip, perfect for dunking your Egg Foo Yung bites into.

Variations

• Sweet and Spicy: Enhance the sauce by adding 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, a dash of pepper, and either 1 tablespoon of peanut oil or a few drops of sesame oil to the stock in Step 1.

• Oyster Infusion: For a delightful seafood twist, incorporate 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce into the stock mixture, omitting the salt.

• Tangy Twist: Elevate the sauce with a tangy touch by adding 1 tablespoon of ketchup and/or 2 teaspoons of sherry to the stock, while increasing the soy sauce to 1 tablespoon.

• Molasses Magic: For a deeper, richer flavor profile, omit the soy sauce in Step 1 and instead blend it with the cornstarch mixture, increasing it to 1 tablespoon. Incorporate 1 teaspoon of molasses or dark corn syrup for a hint of sweetness.

• Soy-Free Option: Skip adding soy sauce in Step 1 and instead incorporate it into the cornstarch mixture in Step 2, increasing it to 1 tablespoon. Additionally, blend in 1 teaspoon of molasses or dark corn syrup to balance the flavors.

• Customization: Feel free to adjust the seasoning and ingredients according to your taste preferences, exploring various flavor combinations to create your signature Egg Foo Yung sauce.
