Chicken Egg Foo Young

White Rice

Gravy Sauce

Method

Chicken Egg Foo Young

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the chopped green onions, bean sprouts, and cooked chicken. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

  3. 3

    Cook the Egg Foo Young

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture.

White Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the White Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Gravy Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Gravy Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add this to the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
