Foe Yong Hai

A very popular Chinese side or main course is the Foe Yong Hai. The combination of eggs with vegetables and chicken in a creamy, but fruity tomato sauce, is often very much appreciated. Just like with the Chinese tomato soup, the homemade fruit broth is also decisive here and provides the one and only real Chinese taste.

Enjoy your dinner

This Foe Yong Hai is ideal as a main course with white rice or as a side dish in a rice table. If the Foe Yong Hai is part of a rice table, put the whole egg mixture in a bowl and then pour the tomato sauce all over it so that the egg mixture is covered. Then keep it warm with a rechaud.
