My mom made this when we were kids. Instead of using 1 to 2 eggs to make “individual” Egg Foo Young, I wanted a way to prepare it as a side dish for several days. So I came up with an idea to use the same ingredients that are in Crab Rangoon and bake it instead of using a Wok.

INGREDIENTS:

Eggs, Jumbo, 6
Crab Delights, Imitation Crab, recommended: Louis Kemp, 1 lb.
Oysters, Fancy Smoked in Oil, recommended: Chicken of the Sea, 3.75 oz.
Stir Fry Vegetables, recommended: La Choy, 28 oz.
Cream Cheese Spread, recommended: Great Value, 12 oz.
Chow Mein Noodles, recommended: La Choy, 5 oz.
Ginger root, fresh, ¼ lb., 1 inch root (peeled and diced)
Green Onions, diced, ¼ cup
Marjoram, recommended: Delish, ¼ cup
Soy Sauce, recommended: Great Value, 2 teaspoons
Fish Sauce, recommended: Thai Kitchen, ½ teaspoon
Ponzu (Citrus Seasoned Dressing & Sauce, recommended: Kikkoman, ½ teaspoon
Teriyaki Sauce, recommended: Best Choice, ½ teaspoon
Parchment Sheets, Pop-up, recommended: Reynolds Kitchens, 1 to 2 (for easy clean up)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Get the Cream Cheese to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
Apply a parchment sheet(s), as needed to your baking dish (I am using a 9 x 13).
Drain the Oyster oil on top of the parchment paper sheet.
Beat the Eggs.
Dice the Crab and Oysters into ¼ or ½ size bits.
Drain the Stir Fry Vegetables.
Combine the Eggs, Crab, Oysters, Stir Fry Vegetables, Ginger Root, Green Onions, Marjoram, Soy Sauce, Fish Sauce, Ponzu and Teriyaki Sauce.
You can season the Stir Fry Vegetables with a bit of Soy Sauce and Teriyaki Sauce.
Blend in the Cream Cheese
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the eggs set.
Top with Chow Mein Noodles, when serving.

As soon as I added the Cream Cheese, it started to smell like a Crab Rangoon. Actually, it has all the flavors of Crab Rangoon, without the Wonton Wrappers.

Today is my Dad’s birthday. And it has turned out to be a wonderful day! I have four of my favorite TV shows to watch after work: Supergirl, Batwoman, The Rookie and God Friended Me.

I prepped my Jilligan’s Isle BBQ Pork for the slow cooker yesterday. And before going to work, I started cooking it. It will be done in time for my lunch break. And then I can have more Egg Foo Young as a snack later on. It sure was good. I was only supposed to have one serving. But I cheated and had an extra serving.

Happy Birthday Dad!
