Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh bean sprouts
- 4 green onions, chopped (green and white parts)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup cooked chicken, finely diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs with red bell pepper, celery, mushrooms, onion, bean sprouts, half of the chopped green onions, salt, white pepper, and diced chicken.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, mix chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil. In a separate bowl, blend cornstarch with cold water. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with 1/2 tablespoon of canola oil. Pour about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, then flip and brown the other side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the Egg Foo Young warm, topped with the prepared gravy and sprinkled with the remaining chopped green onions.
