Keto Egg Foo Yung

Every time, we get mung bean sprouts in our produce share, I am so excited to cook this dish.  This Egg Foo Young Recipe is a delicious light airy Chinese omelet.  You can fill with many options, red pepper, celery, mushrooms, onions, bean sprouts, scallions and shrimp smothered in a flavorful tangy gravy that will leave you licking your plate.  It is one of our favorite dinner recipes, but also great for breakfast too and always a hit with friends and family.  We love Asian Cuisine!
