Egg Foo Yung and Sauce

My husband asked for this out of the blue.  I've never cooked it before but he remembers
making it at a party a long time ago.  It was really great.  Crunchy and light.

8 eggs, beaten
1 c. finely sliced celery 
1 c. finely chopped onion
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 c. diced fresh mushrooms
1/3 pound ground chicken
1/3 pound ground beef
1/3 pound ground pork
1/4 t. ground pepper

Sauce
2 cubes chicken bullion
1 ½ cups hot water
1 ½ t. white sugar
2 T. soy sauce
6 T. cold water
1 ½ T. cornstarch

  1. Beat eggs in a large bowl.
  2. Cook the celery, onion and mushrooms in a fry pan until translucent adding the bean sprouts at the end for just a minute to soften slightly.
  3. Remove to a plate.
  4. Cook the chicken, beef and pork and pepper. Let cool a few minutes.
  5. Add the vegetables and meats to the egg mixture.
  6. Heat oil in a small skillet.  Measure 1/2 c. of mixture and add to the hot oil in the pan.  Without stirring, let bottom brown.  When brown, flip the pancake and cook until the other side is brown.
  7. Make the sauce by dissolving the boullion in the hot water in a small saucepan.
  8. Add the sugar and soy sauce and blend well over medium heat.
  9. Stir together cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  10. Add to the water/soy mixture and stir until thickened.
