Chicken Egg Foo Young patties topped with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, served with gravy.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3/4 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil for stir-frying
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 3/4 cups bean sprouts
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, plus more if needed
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water for slurry
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken with 1 tablespoon water, 3/4 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
  • In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Next, add the bean sprouts and stir-fry for an additional minute. Return the chicken to the skillet and mix thoroughly. Let the mixture cool slightly.

  • In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the 6 eggs with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Gently fold in the cooled chicken and vegetable mixture. Be careful not to overmix so the texture stays chunky.

  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it turns golden brown. Repeat. If needed, add more oil to the skillet to prevent sticking. Once done, place the patties on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup low sodium chicken broth, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
  • In a small cup, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce over medium heat until it thickens into a smooth gravy.
  • Arrange the fried egg patties on a serving plate. Drizzle hot gravy over the patties and garnish with chopped green onions and a light sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve right away.
