Keto Egg Foo Young

With pork and prawns Keto Egg Foo Young we make!

Who doesn’t love Chinese take away? I guess everyone does. And Egg Foo Young is a popular item on the menu. Now I haven’t seen it in India on a take out menu like EVER. But it turns out back in the day it used to be served in some restaurants in Bombay. My parents told me the story of how they ate it at a restaurant called China Garden. But for whatever the reason it vanished from the menu. Now thanks to the internet, I’ve discovered it.

So I figured I’d give it a try and make a Keto version. I mean it’s already pretty Keto apart from having a bit of corn flour/corn starch in it. But it’s perfect. It’s also very similar to the Thai style omelet which I’ve made before so I can’t wait to try this!

Where is the sauce?

Now Egg Foo Young is normally served with a brown sauce or gravy (at least in the USA). I decided to follow the original and leave out the gravy. There was another reason for this too. The gravy is mostly thickened with corn starch and it also has oyster sauce. Both are not really Keto friendly. Now I could have skipped the oyster sauce and used xanthan gum to thicken it. I just really don’t like the texture of sauces with xanthan gum. So if you do want to try making it it’s just some chicken stock, soya sauce and xanthan gum reduced down. And that’s it. You got the sauce.

Honestly this packs so much flavour from the pork and prawns it really doesn’t need it. It doesn’t even need a Keto rice or side dish. I deliberately didn’t add too many veggies either. But you can add some veggies to this or serve yourself some on the side. Just sautee them in a pan with some butter and salt and garlic powder maybe. It’s up to you.
