"The heart of egg foo young's appeal lies in its seemingly paradoxical simplicity and complexity.

It's this symphony of tastes, encapsulated in a fluffy, egg-based envelope that makes egg foo young a culinary experience that bridges cultures and palates." - Lucas Sin CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:28 - What Is Egg Foo Young? 01:20 - The Prep 03:04 - Lucas Gives A Tip On Ordering Pork 06:20 - Brown Sauce 10:10 - Lucas Gives A Tip On Cornstarch Mixing 12:52 - The Omelette 12:53 - The Deep Fry 17:34 - Plating 18:31 - Tasting GET THE RECIPE: Egg Foo Young (Hong Kong-Style Omelet): https://food52.com/recipes/90232-really-crispy-egg-foo-young-from-lucas-sin MORE FROM FOOD52: Subscribe here to our YouTube Channel! https://f52.co/2HN7Dp8 GET MORE OF FOOD52 BY CONNECTING BELOW: Website: https://food52.com Our Shop: https://food52.com/shop Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/food52 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Food52 Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/food52 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Food52 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@food52 Food52 newsletter: https://f52.co/newsletter
