Ramen Noodle Egg Foo Yung

Submitted by Pot Scrubber

"I can't believe I like this dish as much as I do. I was surprised. This is a variation of a rather bland scrambled egg mix that I found on the net but turning it onto an egg foo yung is really special. Add your own favorite things but this is a good start. If you add water chestnuts, ham, shrimp, pork, whatever- then you will have to adjust the cooking time. This is a basic recipe- make it your own. But an easy recipe to amend- as soon as the egg is set- then it is done! I really love this and it is so good for a family on a budget or a bachelor short on time.

Suprise, suprise. Sounded kind of terrible to me, but decided to try it based on the reviews. Glad I did... it's become a family favorite. I have started using 1/2 the noodles called for and added veggies - carrots, pea pods, bean sprouts, etc..whatever else I have on hand.) Really great! Thanks for a winner recipe!

This has to be my new favorite way to use ramen noodles. We loved this & it is easy to make. I did try the recipe with the addition of the baking powder & the eggs are very fluffy. I doubled the recipe & used a larger skillet with no problem other than having to cut it in half to flip. I made no changes to ingredients other than adding a shredded carrot for color & to up the veggies. Recipe #45270 is a must try with this. Together the recipes are just wonderful. Thank you Potsie for a keeper of a recipe!

*OH MY this is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS* Made as written using the oriental flavor pack, which is my favorite Ramen Noodle flavor. :) A keeper in my Asian comfort food cookbook *Made for SSaSSy's team for ZWT6*

You can do so much with this recipe. I have added asparagus, minced garlic, reduced butter, omitted soy sauce/sesame oil while doubled the seasoning. I almost always double the eggs. They all came out delicious!

Rave reviews from my girls! My oldest DD loves nothing more than Ramen noodles and eggs, so I knew this would be a special treat for her. I am patty flipping challenged, so I followed your suggestion to flip a small patty into a larger pan. Thanks! Made for ZWT6 LOONEY SPOON PHOODIES.
