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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Serve the Egg Foo Young warm, topped with the prepared gravy and sprinkled with the remaining chopped green onions.
