Chicken Egg Foo Yung Recipe

May 16, 2018 by athomewithrebecka Leave a Comment

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.
