Foe Yong Hai

Ingredients

• 300 g Pandan rice
• 6 Eggs
• 100 g Pre-cooked chicken breast (chicken breast fillet)
• 200 g Chinese vegetables (stir-fry mix)
• 2 tbsp Mirin (for the eggs)
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil (for the eggs)
• 0.5 tbsp Sugar (for the eggs)
• 1 tsp Soy sauce (for the eggs)
• 350 g Tomato frito (fried tomato sauce base)
• 5 tbsp Ginger syrup (ginger syrup)
• 2 tbsp Sweet chili sauce
• 1 tbsp Vinegar (white vinegar)
• 1 tsp Sambal (chili paste)
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch (cornstarch)
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil (for frying)
• 1 tbsp Sunflower oil (for frying)
• Krupuk or Cassava crackers (for garnish)
• Atjar Tjampoer (pickled mixed vegetables for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the tomato frito, ginger syrup, sweet chili sauce, vinegar, and sambal. Bring to a simmer over low heat and let it cook for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   While the sauce is simmering, cook the pandan rice according to the package instructions.

3. 3

   Prepare the egg mixture: crack 6 eggs into a bowl and add the mirin, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, sugar, and soy sauce. Whisk briefly until light and airy, then set aside.

4. 4

   In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil over high heat. Add the pre-cooked chicken and Chinese vegetables, sautéing until the vegetables are tender and slightly translucent.

5. 5

   Pour the egg mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the pan. Let it cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Flip the omelet over. It may break or look messy, but that is fine as it will be covered in sauce later.

7. 7

   After the sauce has simmered for 10 minutes, stir in the cornstarch and continue to stir until the sauce thickens.

8. 8

   Pour the thickened sauce over the omelet in the pan. Cover with a lid and let it simmer together for about 1 minute.

9. 9

   Serve the Foe Yong Hai in deep plates alongside the pandan rice. Garnish with krupuk (or cassava crackers) and atjar tjampoer.

Notes

The omelet flip doesn't need to be perfect; a 'messy' omelet allows the sauce to better coat the ingredients. You can use any variety of Chinese stir-fry vegetable mix available at your local supermarket.
