Method

Prepare the Beef Mixture

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning

    Add the chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the browned beef. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. 3

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk and salt. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cook the Egg Foo Young

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Combine Beef Mixture with Egg Mixture

    Once the oil is hot, add a generous spoonful of the beef mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

  3. 6

    Cook Each Patty

    Pour a portion of the combined mixture into the skillet, forming a patty (about 1/4 cup). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

    Serve

    Serve hot with additional soy sauce drizzled over the top.
