Egg Foo Young, Cantonese style - How to Make the Original Fuyong Dan (芙蓉蛋)

Egg Foo Young, a.k.a. Fuyong Dan or Furong Dan. This dish's made it's way around the world, but we wanted to teach you the original Cantonese way of making it. In terms of taste and texture, this is much closer to an omelette than its deep-fried takeout counterpart. It's a pretty easy dish, and a great egg dish to whip up whenever.

Near the end of the video, we used some footage of an American Chinese restaurant called 'Luo's Peking House'. Cutting this video made me really nostalgic for American-Chinese food, though the host putting mustard and sweet and sour sauce over the already sauced Egg Foo Young is so stereotypically American it made me facepalm ;) Link to the full video here:
