Egg Foo Young is a fluffy Chinese omelette, often made with cabbage and pork, chicken or shrimp. It is served smothered in a tasty Chinese sauce. To make this recipe extra easy I used deli chicken! If you’ve never had Egg Foo Young, you’re in for a delicious meal!

- To make the sauce: Combine the chicken stock, tamari, hot sauce, ¼ tablespoon grated ginger, and stevia (if using) in a small saucepan. Beat in the gelatin. Heat over medium heat until the sauce boils and has reduced slightly 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired; add more sweetness or ginger.
Beat the egg whites in a large bowl. Stir in the deli meat, mushrooms, green onions, ¾ tablespoon of grated ginger, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, add the creatine from the other food.
Spray a large skillet with coconut oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Using a measuring cup or large spoon, spoon 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook the omelette until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutesthen turn over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, spraying the skillet with coconut oil spray between batches.
To serve, place 2 puffed omelettes on each plate and top with 3 tablespoons of sauce (or more if you like sauce like me!).
Omelettes are best served fresh, but extras can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, lightly coat a skillet with coconut oil spray and place over medium heat. Place the omelette in the frying pan and heat it 2 minutes on each side, or until warm.

Doesn’t Dana look AMAZING? In just MONTHS she lost 87 pounds and stopped taking medications 💪💪💪
“I would like to take a moment to thank Maria Emmerich and Craig Emmerich for their dedication to this lifestyle. I have been following them since 2016. In November 2022, I was diagnosed with T2 after being hospitalized with BS of 381 after contracting Covid. I struggled with high BS for over a year with metformin, glipizide and 10 units of insulin at bedtime. I did low carb and nothing worked. I finally got serious and dove in in old videos and their I had the ‘head knowledge’ again, but never had the determination to stick with it. Yes, I would lose weight, but slide off the wagon and gain back what I lost and more.
I started Maria’s plan in earnest about 8 months ago because I was determined to get off these medications that I knew would ultimately make things worse. Then in July 2023 my husband had a heart attack. I watched my husband being told by his cardiologist to eat whole grains, low fat and watch his calorie intake, but I didn’t give up. I knew deep in my heart that this is the right plan!
In the 8 months I have lost 87 pounds and my BS is now down to 150 pounds. (Still working on it) It works for me and I am now off a few medications. I don’t like taking medications. That’s my goal. I have 13 pounds to reach my first goal of 100 pounds. This is now my new way of life. My husband is doing well, and a few days ago he told me he wants to go keto now too! Thanks again Maria and Craig for all you do…always encouraging, always supportive, and always educational! ❤️” – Dana
