Crab Foo Yong

Iron Chef mode this weekend. I made my very first bread pudding, result was not bad for a first timer. But that's not what we are going to have in this post. What we're having has the ingredients below.

We have bean sprouts, green onions, carrots, shitake mushroom (tenga ng daga will also do), eggs and crab meat. I'm going to cook Classic Savory's Crab Foo Yong. For this recipe we need 1/4 kilo of crab meat (1/2 kilo costs PhP200 in baclaran), 1/2k (or less depending on how much you want) of bean sprouts, 1 carrot, diced, half a can of shitake mushrooms, thinly sliced; green onions, chopped and 8 eggs beaten, salt and pepper to taste. For the sauce, we have 2 tbsps. oyster sauce, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tbsps sugar and 2 tbsps cornstarch dissolved in water. Prepare a medium bowl to use as mold to achieve a dome-shaped crab foo yong.

Saute onions, crab meat, add carrots, shitake mushroom and bean sprouts let cook for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in beaten eggs, stirring constantly until eggs are cooked. While still hot, put the mixture into the bowl/mold. Be sure to press the mixture firmly so that we can have a dome-shaped foo yong. Turn over the bowl into a plate, just leave it there to settle, do not take it from the mold yet. For the sauce, mix all ingredients and simmer until thick. Pour over the dome-shaped crab foo yong. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Savory's Crab Foo Yong is about PhP245. I spent approximately PhP220 for the recipe but I was able to make two dome-shaped crab foo yong and a much bigger one! Enjoy!
