Easy Breakfast Egg Foo Young

This simple and nutritious Egg Foo Young is perfect for a quick, protein-packed breakfast or an anytime meal.

To streamline my breakfasts, I like to prepare the veggie stir-fry ahead of time, so in the morning, all I need to do is whisk some eggs and cook! I love serving this with a fermented cucumber (when I have them), sauerkraut and avocado for extra gut-friendly benefits, fiber, and healthy fats.
