Egg Foo Young sits in the Snacks section of Regbie. The card serves 10 patties. Plan on 45 minutes from the first measure to the plate. The amounts and the method are both written on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 10 patties
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup coconut flour, or ½ cup cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon Red Boat fish sauce, or kosher salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup diced ham, or cooked meat of choice
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Ghee, or avocado oil
Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour (or cassava flour), fish sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Stir in the ham, spinach, scallions, cilantro, and baking soda, and some freshly ground black pepper.
Melt a tablespoon of ghee in a cast iron skillet over a medium burner. Use a large disher (3-tablespoon size) to plop the batter in the pan, and flatten the pancake to ½-inch thick with the back of a spoon. The cook can comfortably fit 3 pancakes in the cook 12-inch skillet at a time – don’t overcrowd them!
Fry without disturbing the patties for 2 minutes before flipping the pancakes over and cooking it on the other side for about 1-2 minutes more. The pancakes are cooked through when the centers bounce back when you press down on them with your finger.
Repeat until you’re out of batter. As each pancake finishes cooking, move it to a wire rack to cool. Then, plate ’em up and serve!
Kitchen notes
- The cook like these pancakes plain, but they’re also wonderful topped with sriracha , guacamole , Spicy Pineapple Salsa , or Mango Avocado Salsa .
- If you want to smother them in a Whole30-friendly brown gravy, you can spoon on Umami Gravy .
- Also, All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce is a simple and satisfying dipping sauce.
