Ingredients
  

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ c Onion chopped
  • 1 c Shredded cabbage
  • 1 c La Choy Chop Suey Vegetables well drained
  • 2 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped scallion for garnish
  • Keto-friendly oil for frying

For the sauce:

  • 1 c Beef broth
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Swerve brown sugar substitute
  • 1 ½ tsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • ½ -1 tsp Xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place ½ tsp of sesame oil in the skillet, and add in the chopped onion and chicken pieces. Cook for several minutes until the onions begin to soften, and the chicken is cooked through. Allow the chicken to cool down.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, chop suey vegetables, cabbage, 1 tsp sesame oil, minced garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the chicken mixture to the egg mixture, and combine well.
  • Heat a deep sided skillet filled with cooking oil on the stove. You can use any keto friendly oil you wish, such as avocado or coconut.
  • Once heated, drop ¼ c of the egg mixture into the oil at a time. You can cook 3-4 “pancakes” at a time. Flip the small egg pancakes 2-3 times with tongs while cooking.
  • Once cooked through and browned, remove the egg pancakes, and place them on paper towel lined plates or a rack to allow the oil to drain.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat on the stove.
  • Add 1 c beef broth, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tsp Swerve brown sugar substitute, 1 tsp sesame oil and 1 ½ tsp of rice vinegar to the skillet. Whisk to combine.
  • Slowly add in the xanthan gum a ¼ tsp at a time, whisking it in as you go. Allow the sauce to cook down a bit before adding more. Continue to add xanthan gum until your sauce reaches your desired thickness.
  • Serve the Egg foo young with the accompanying sauce, and store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
