This Week’s Delicious Mischief Recipe
LOBSTER EGG FOO YUNG
New York chef Simpson Wong of Wong in the East Village has attracted attention for many of his “Asian locavore” signature dishes – but none more than his upscaled spin on what may be the ultimate Asian peasant food. Here’s our version of Egg Foo Young made with lobster.
Sauce:
1 1/2 cup vegetable or seafood broth
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoon cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
8 eggs, beaten
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup diced fresh mushrooms
1 cup chunks cooked lobster meat
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
To make sauce, heat broth in a small saucepan; add sugar and soy sauce and blend well over medium heat. Combine cold water with cornstarch in a bowl and then add to the sauce, stirring until thick and smooth. Keep sauce warm. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add the celery, onion, bean sprouts, mushrooms, lobster, salt and pepper. Mix together. Heat oil in a medium skillet or wok and brown egg mixture 1/2 cup at a time until set like an omelet. Serve Egg Foo Yung with sauce spooned over the top. Serves 4-6.
