If brandy is not readily available, a whiskey sidecar is a great substitute.

Reviews
I would give this 5 stars but found that the vegetables were way too limited. I added chopped celery and green onions i addition to a part of a Walla-Walla sweet onion, not the entire onion. I also did 7 eggs instead of four and about 2 cups of bean sprouts. I used tempura dipping sauce, watered down. Fried them up on my middle grill on my new stove with peanut oil. It came out great!
Wow! Easy & tasty!!! Didn’t have peanut oil so I used the Sesame Oil that I had on hand. Ditto for the fresh mushrooms, used canned. Although fresh mushrooms absorb the flavor better – still tasted great!!! Have fun & enjoy!
Turned out so tasty and hit the spot! I don’t know how people get their eggs so pretty. Mine kind of spread out and looked wonky, but the taste was spot on!
*** + soy sce., add on, zucc., diced mush, + 1/4 c. patties, hot oil for patties + soy cooking mush *******
I have made this dish for 30 years. the recipe is perfect. I do make a soy sauce base “gravy” to pour over the top.
One of my favorite dishes
Made as 1 large pancake. Added a side salad and it made a great light meal. Will definitely make again
So good! Didn’t change a thing.
I love this recipe. It was easy to do and I can put in different veggies, added sweet red peppers. Can’t wait to do it again. Thanks
PERFECT!!!!
For those who wondered how to make the patties thicker, if you whisk the egg white till it barely reaches soft peaks then fold the beaten yolks into the beaten whites it will be thick and attractive.
Very easy and yummy.
Really liked how simple it was to make. Good flavor. My husband liked it so I know it’s good!
I decided to add shrimp. My oldest son, who doesn’t like eggs, said I didn’t make enough
This was not easy for me to make. Seemed like it took too long. The pancake thing didn’t work either, I made it like one big pancake and folded like an omlet and then I made the sauce in the omlet pan after I took out the omlet and was all worried about it getting cold. The sauce was good and I was happy to learn how to make a quick sauce. I might make again as a dinner instead of a brunch. I also had left over broth and sprouts that I didn’t know what to do with not to waste.
I loved this! My only problem is that my egg mixture did not stay together in the pan at all, it just spread and spread. So I dumped the whole thing into the pan and when it looked time to flip i cut it into four pieces and did the flip…and it worked well! The mushroom sauce is delicious! Thanks!
This was very good, Very easy to make. This is a dish that has a lot of leeway to play with as far as ingredients you can use.
Great recipe, and very,very fast and simple. I added additional spices to both the egg mixture and mushroom sauce (garlic, five-spice seasoning), but other than that, the recipe is great as is, and everyone loved it and thought it tasted just like it does at a chinese restuarant.
Tasty, but wish the egg mix would puff up thicker like at our favorite Chinese restaurant. How do they do that?
These were pretty good; I love how simple the recipe is and that it uses ordinary ingredients. I think I would prefer a thicker, stronger sauce and less of it, though. I will try this again reducing the amount of broth and mushrooms and adding some garlic & ginger to the sauce.
Super easy and fast to make and tastes great! Easy on the wallet too.
