Directions

1. OMELETE DIRECTIONS
2. Cut up the ban sprouts into smaller pieces and put in boiling water for 3 minutes.
3. Remove and drain and press down on the bean sprouts in the colander with a towel (or paper towels) to press out excess water.
4. Heat up a saucepan with a small layer of oil in the bottom. Allow this to get to 325 degrees.
5. Gently mix all the ingredients together – do not beat the eggs. It will be gravy consistency. NOTE: Don’t let this sit for very long as it will get watery.
6. Using a ladle, scoop up the mixture and place one ladle into the hot oil. Repeat.
7. SAUCE DIRECTIONS
8. In a wok, medium pot, or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Whisking constantly, make a roux by adding the flour, turmeric, and paprika. Continue whisking for 15-20 seconds, then add the garlic and shallot.
9. Whisk for another 30 seconds. Next, whisk in 2-4 cups of the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to taste.
10. Combine the cornstarch with the remaining ¼ cup of chicken stock (or use water) to make a slurry. Slowly stir in two-thirds of the mixture.
11. Let the gravy cook and continue to thicken for 30 seconds. Add more of the cornstarch slurry if needed. The gravy should be thick enough to coat a spoon. Serve!
