Egg foo young (also Egg fooyung, or egg furong) (Chinese: ; pinyin: fúróng dàn; Cantonese: fu4 yung4 daan2; literally "
hibiscus egg") is a dish in
American Chinese cuisine that is commonly served in
Westernized Chinese restaurants. The name comes from the Cantonese language.Egg Foo Yung has
Chinese origins, by means of the traditional Fu Yung Egg slices, a dish from the city of
Shanghai. This dish is prepared with beaten egg whites and minced
ham. Some northern parts of
China have also been known to use
chicken instead of ham. From these dishes early creative Chinese chefs in the American 1950s and 1960s created a pancake filled with eggs, vegetables, and meat or seafood.
