This recipe is the bomb! I mean who doesn't love Egg Foo Young, right? So why not add bacon?! Goes great with shrimp - so why not?? It's easy! Here is how you make this tasty dish!
INGREDIENTS:
- 5 or 6 strips of bacon 
- 24 small shrimp 
- 1 to 1.5 cups of shredded cabbage (bok choy or bean sprouts) 
- 3 eggs 
- 2 Tbsp garlic powder 
- 2 Tbsp onion powder 
- Several pinches of salt (I used smoked bacon salt) 
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce 
- 2 green onions 
- 1 1/4 cups chicken broth 
- Corn starch slurry (1-2 Tbsp cornstarch mixed well with some water) 
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat a pan with cooking oil to about 350 degrees 
- Fry your bacon, remove & rest on paper towels. Then crumble when cool. 
- Sauté your shrimp in the bacon drippings - just until pink. Remove 
- Slice/shred cabbage 
- Slice your green onions 
- Take a bowl and combine the 3 eggs, cabbage 
- Then add one sliced green onion, 3/4 of the crumbled bacon 
- Save the rest for garnish 
- Then add 1 Tsp of onion powder and 1 Tsp of garlic powder 
- Then add a pinch or two of the smoked bacon salt 
- Mix well 
- Once oil is hot - scoop the mixture with a ladle 
- Gently start sliding the mixture into the pan 
- If it falls apart, just scoop it back onto your patty 
- Let cook until golden brown on bottom and then flip over 
- When done, remove and let rest on paper towel 
- Do the same to the rest of the mixture. You should have enough for 3 or 4 patties. 
- Then make the gravy. 
- Use the same pan you made the bacon and sautéed the shrimp 
- Put pan on med-low heat. Add the chicken broth 
- Add 1 Tsp of onion powder and 1 Tsp of garlic powder 
- Add a pinch of smoked bacon salt
