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).

 1 tsp garlic powder
 1 tsp onion powder

 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).
