Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped (or chicken, if preferred)
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: Sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk until well beaten.
- Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the eggs, stirring well to combine.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and mix until fully dissolved in the egg mixture.
- Fold in 1 cup of bean sprouts, 1/2 cup of chopped cooked shrimp (or chicken), 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions, 1/4 cup of diced bell pepper, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped mushrooms until evenly distributed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges set and the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture.
- Serve hot, drizzled with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce, and garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the egg mixture for a crispy exterior.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
