Chicken Egg Foo Yung Recipe

Chicken Egg Foo Yung is one of my favorite comfort foods and a dish my mother made regularly when I was growing up. I get cravings for this savory meal and because of its versatility and easy preparation, I eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Chicken Egg Foo Yung

In my opinion, Egg Foo Yung is not complete without the signature savory gravy!

The sumptuous brown gravy has a silky texture and rounds out the flavor profile of this tasty meal. Most recipes call for vinegar in the gravy but I omit it; the flavor is just too strong for my liking.

Egg Foo Yung

 

I posted my recipe for Egg Foo Young with Brussel Sprouts and leftover pork last year. If you’re wondering why the dish doesn’t look like the traditional Chinese style pancakes, I’m was recovering from shoulder surgery. As it turns out, flipping a full size omelet shaped breakfast with the use of only one good arm is more difficult than I expected. The final dish was delicious, but looks more like an Egg Foo Yung scramble.

I had a few Brussels sprouts in the fridge, so I threw them in, adding a wonderful crunch and delicious Brussels sprouts flavor. Some Minced Chicken and Pork Egg Rolls would be delicious served with this meal.

For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bo For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bowl of Alphabet Chicken  Corn Soup.

I like the noodles better than the broth so I make mine, noodle heavy! If you prefer more broth just add another 8 ounces liquid and more seasoning. 
RECIPE:
1 7-ounce package alphabet noodles
16 ounces chicken stock
1 cup chopped roasted chicken breast
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 cup cooked frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons butter

In a medium stock pot, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add bullion cube and stir until dissolved. Add alphabet noodles and stir. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and chicken cubes. Mixture will be thick.

Add butter, salt and pepper. Stir until butter is melted. 

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
ENJOY 😉

Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Bak Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Baked Apples made with canned cinnamon rolls and Orange Soda are DELICIOUS! The soda gives the sauce a beautiful Amber color, the perfect compliment to the tart apples. Just Heavenly! I’ll be making this again!

RECIPE:
3-4 small apples cored and cut in half
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls w icing)
1 cup butter, divided
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounces) canned orange soda

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Grease large cast iron skillet
3. Cut apples in half and remove cores with a melon baller. Open cinnamon rolls and gently unwind until flat, on a pice of waxed paper.
Place another pieces of waxed paper over the dough. Using a rolling pin, gently roll dough so it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into equal squares.
4. Fill each apple with a dollop of butter then lay a piece of dough over the cut side and wrap apple in dough. The dough won’t reach around the entire Apple, this is fine. Place wrapped apples in cast iron pan
5. Melt butter and sugar in a small sauce pan. Add the orange soda and mix to combine. Pour warm mixture over apple dumplings.
6. Cover and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until Golden brown
Drizzle cooked apples with icing and serve warm.
ENJOY!!

I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today u I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today using up pantry items to make Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings. 
 
The recipe calls for crescent rolls but we ate those at Thanksgiving. Good news, I had a can of cinnamon rolls which I think will do the trick! The Recipe also calls for a can of Mountain Dew (TM) soda. I didn’t have that either so I’m substituting Sunkist Orange soda. That should work!? 

Risky?? Naw!

I’m excited because  they already smell divine! Stay tuned for the reveal.

My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this yea My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this year (trees have been in the ground and producing for three years). Sadly, the skins are imperfect this season.
I’m not sure if the tree is still to close to the ground and fruit is picking up dust or if Texas humidity had something to do with the defect? @chefpjcopithorne What’s your expert opinion? 

Despite their imperfections, they will make the most delicious Habanero Meyer Lemon Jelly and Lemon Curd. @lanzijosee Your care package will be sent out with a few jars of both this week. Their not beautiful but they taste amazing! #happycanning #meyerlemon #gardentotable #jelly #lemoncurd
