Fu Yung Hai has been a part of Indonesian Chinese (Peranakan) cuisine for centuries. It was brought by Chinese migrants long before European settlements arrived in Nusantara. No wonder, the Dutch knows this dish the same as Indonesians do. Many Indonesians cherish this food as a part of their childhood memory, including myself.
From its name, the dish should contain crab meat as Hai means Crab in Chinese (correct me if I’m wrong). However, people still label under the same name without crab as the meat.
The introducing of similar dish that is known as Egg Foo Young to the New World (Canada and US) was happening through Cantonese descendant immigrants.
This recipe was adapted from Indonesian Chinese cookbook by Cherry Hadibroto but I slightly changed the ingredients toward what I had in my fridge and pantry.
