Chinese Gravy For Egg Fu Yung
- add review
- #75938
Delicious Chinese brown gravy with restaurant-quality flavor. Starting with bacon fat here really ups the ante on the richness of the gravy, while plenty of sliced mushrooms add their own umami as well.

ingredients
2 tablespoons bacon fat
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/8 cup sliced green onion
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cans (15 ounce size) chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon MSG
1 teaspoon meinsee (bean sauce)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet
directions
Heat the bacon fat in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until soft.
Heat the oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and green onion. Remove the mushrooms from the bacon fat with a slotted spoon and add to the garlic mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 more minutes.
Add the soy sauce to the skillet and stir to deglaze the pan.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the cornstarch and 3/4 cup of the broth. Add the remaining broth to the skillet along with the white pepper, MSG, bean sauce, hoisin sauce, and kitchen bouquet. Bring to a simmer then stir in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Serve over egg fu yung or other Asian egg dishes.

This was an incredible recipe! I did not have MSG or hoisin sauce but it came out fine. It is versatile enough that I would use whenever I wanted a dark brown gravy with lots of flavor. I made this specifically for egg fu yung, and it was perfect. The recipe did not state what kind of mushrooms to use to I used plain button mushrooms to see how that would taste. Next time I will add other types such as porcini or shitake. Overall a great simple recipe. Thank you for posting!
