Instructions
 

For the pork and prawn mixture

  • In a large wok heat up 1 tbsp olive oil and add in the spring onion white and minced garlic. Sautee till the onion is translucent and the garlic is just turning golden brown.
  • Add in the ground pork and sautee till the meat is cooked. Make sure to break up any big chunks you want almost individual grains of pork.
  • Then add in the prawns, season with salt, white pepper, stevia, soya sauce and vinegar and give everything a good mix.
  • The prawns/shrimp will take literally 2-3 minutes to cook after which you get them off the heat. If there is some meat/prawn juices in the pan no problem, that can go into the egg mixture.

For the egg foo young

  • Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the salt, white pepper, stevia, soya sauce and the coconut flour. Whisk the eggs till they are nice and frothy
  • Add in the spring onion middle/greens after reserving a few for garnish. Then add the pork and prawn mixture and mix well.
  • An a large wok heat up a good amount of oil, maybe 50-60ml if not more. You can also just make this in a frying pan like a regular omelet no problem.
  • Once the oil is nice and hot ladle in a big spoon of the egg mixture and let it fry. You will notice the egg start to puff up. That's the hallmark feature of the egg foo young.
  • Now if it's too big you can break it into 2 pieces and flip otherwise using your kitchen tools flip it over. Repeat the process till all the egg mixture if over. You can also pout the entire mixture in and do it in 1 go but it will be much harder to do. Better to do it in 3-4 batches so you get smaller omelets.
  • Serve with some Keto rice or eat as it is. I think it's tasty enough on it's own.
