This homemade egg foo yung is a nutritious and satisfying take on the classic Chinese-inspired omelette. Packed with protein-rich prawns, earthy shiitake mushrooms, and crunchy bean sprouts, it offers a wonderful balance of textures and flavours. The dish is finished with a savoury, tangy gravy that brings all the elements together without the high sugar content often found in takeaway versions.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this meal is naturally low in carbohydrates while being high in fibre and essential nutrients. It makes for an excellent quick midweek dinner or a light weekend lunch that doesn't compromise on taste. Serve it as it is, or alongside a portion of steamed leafy greens for a complete, heart-healthy meal that the whole family can enjoy.

Ingredients for Egg Foo Yung
120ml reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon cornflour
1 bunch spring onions
8 large eggs
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
110g sliced fresh mushrooms (preferably shiitake)
1 cup fresh bean sprouts (90g)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
170g peeled cooked prawns, chopped
How to make Egg Foo Yung
Whisk together broth, oyster sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, cornflour, and a pinch of salt in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Chop spring onions, separating white parts and greens.
Beat eggs in a bowl with sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper.
Cook white spring onion, mushrooms, sprouts, and 1/4 teaspoons salt in vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add prawns and half of spring onion greens, then pour in eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just cooked but still slightly loose. Cover skillet and cook until eggs are just set, about 3 minutes.
Serve sprinkled with remaining spring onion greens. Serve sauce on the side.
