Ginger Beef is a popular dish in Chinese restaurants throughout North America. I mistakenly said ginger beef was invented at the Silver Dragon Restaurant in Calgary, Alberta's Chinatown in 1976. Actually Ginger Beef was invented at another Chinese restaurant called Silver Inn. Silver Inn is also located in Calgary, but not in Chinatown. My apologies for making this mistake. I correct my mistake in a future video.
I got a chance to try the Ginger Beef and other dishes in this iconic restaurant that has been in business since 1966. It's certainly worth a visit to try their dishes.
In the second half of this video, I will show you how to make a good old fashioned Chicken and Chives Egg Foo Yung Recipe. It's an updated version of Chicken Egg Foo Yung that used to be served in my grandfather's restaurant and in my dad's restaurants.
Chinese Egg Foo Yung 芙蓉蛋食谱 is a delicious and easy dish to make. Add your favorite ingredients such as chives and chicken. Top off the egg foo yung with "Chinese" style gravy. This is a simple and delicious recipe using eggs.

Wash chives in cold water. Chop chives into small pieces. Chop 1/2 cup of cooked chicken. You can use other kinds of meat such as beef or pork. Beat eggs well and add sesame oil and soy sauce.

When the edges get bubbly, flip over the foo yung omlette. When the center of the egg foo yung stops being runny, the foo yung omlette is ready to be served. The foo yung is served whole on a plate of hot steamed rice. Pour gravy over rice. Enjoy!
