Keto-style egg foo yung is the perfect way to enjoy a classic Chinese dish while sticking to a low-carb diet. Egg foo yung (also known as egg foo young) is a type of omelet that originated in China. It’s traditionally made with eggs, cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, and sometimes other vegetables or proteins. The egg mixture is pan-fried in a wok and served with a flavorful sauce.
Most egg foo yung recipes are not keto-friendly because they use flour or breadcrumbs as a binder. However, with a few simple adjustments, you can transform this classic dish into a tasty, keto-friendly meal. Here’s how to make keto-style egg foo yung at home.
