Easy Egg Foo Yung Recipe: A Tasty 20-Minute Lunch or Dinner Vegetarian Dinner

Egg foo young (also spelled egg fooyung, egg foo yong, egg foo yung or egg fu yung) is a Chinese omelette recipe that's popular across China and in the U.S. This is a vegetarian egg foo yung recipe, but often you will find it made with chicken, pork or seafood. 

Egg foo young is typically served with rice and a gravy or sauce. But it would be just as delicious with a salad for a light dinner or lunch.
