This is an easy recipe inspired by Egg Foo Young. You can serve the patties plain or add a nut-based Basic Gravy (similar to a real Egg Foo Young). This recipe is perfect for diabetics because it is based on lentils (a legume).

2 cups red lentils, soaked(or 1 cup dry)

1 cup water

1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp Bill’s Best Chik’Nish seasoningor alternative brand

1 cup bean sprouts

½ green bell pepper, julienne cut

½ red bell pepper, julienne cut

10 snow peas, julienne cut

1 carrot, julienne cut

½ onion, sliced

3 green onions, chopped

Put 1 cup of lentils into a bowl and add 2 cups of water. Allow the lentils to soak and soften for 6-8 hours. (If you are pressed for time, you can cook the lentils in boiling water until soft).

Add the first 7 ingredients (everything but the vegetables) to the blender and blend until very smooth.

Shred or slice vegetables julienne-style into long, thin 1½ -2” strips.

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Drop by spoonful onto sprayed griddle or skillet, heated to medium-low.

Cook well to a golden brown color on the bottom before turning and browning other side.

Serve warm and enjoy!
