Egg foo yong (foo yong hai)

Recipe is borrowed from here.

Comments

The following modifications are made to the recipe:
1. 5 eggs are replaced with 2 eggs and 6 egg whites.
2. Added carrot as extra veggies. =)

The taste doesn't differ that much with egg whites added in them, but the calories are reduced a lot.

2 Eggs
6 Egg white
1/4 ts Salt

Results





1st attempt:
I tried to make an omelette, but there are too much eggs in the pan, so I scramble them instead. Next time, I'll either make them in smaller batches. They still taste good though. =)

2nd attempt:
My omelette making skill still need improvement, but it doesn't look that bad, isn't it? =P I have to split them up and cook them twice, and I add a little bit of carrot this time.
