Egg Foo Yung is a Chinese egg omelet with veggies. The name comes from the Cantonese language and means "hibiscus egg." This salad “version” does not come in takeout! Easy to make, a complete meal and a nice change. Enjoy.

2-3 cups bean sprouts, washed and drained
1 small can water chestnuts, sliced
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 pepper, diced
2 thinly sliced green onions
6 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
3 hard cooked eggs, sliced
Dressing:
1/3 cup salad oil
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. fresh grated ginger
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. salt
Gently combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all the dressing ingredients together and chill. Just before serving, pour the dressing over salad.
