Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 4 chicken drumsticks or 2 whole chicken legs
  • 1 tbsp cooking wine or Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Black pepper to taste

For the Sauce & Eggs

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp fine granulated sugar
  • 5 tbsp water
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 3 large eggs well beaten

For Cooking

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/4 onion thinly sliced
  • Cooked white rice for serving

Garnish

  • Chopped green onions for a fresh, bright finish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • Debone the chicken drumsticks and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Add the chicken to a bowl with cooking wine, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well to coat evenly, then marinate for 30 minutes. Slice the onion.

Prepare the Sauce and Egg Mixture

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • In another bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, water, and black pepper. Mix and set aside.

Pan-Sear the Chicken

  • Heat the cooking oil in a pan. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and pan-fry over medium-low heat until the bottom is golden (about 3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Eggs and Sauce

  • In the same pan, sauté the sliced onions until fragrant.
  • Add the seared chicken back in, pour in the sauce, and cover. Simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Turn off the heat and pour in the beaten egg mixture. DO NOT STIR. Let it sit off the heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • The residual heat will gently cook the eggs into soft, silky curds. Finish with a handful of green onions.

Assemble and Serve

  • Fill a bowl with hot rice. Pour the silky egg chicken mixture over the rice and enjoy immediately.
