Cook the Rice
In a medium pot, add 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Fry the Egg Foo Young
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a portion of the egg mixture (about 1/2 cup) and spread it out into a round pancake shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.

Make the Gravy
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Once the broth mixture is simmering, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for flavor.
