Beat @eggs{6%large} with @light soy sauce{1%tsp}, @white pepper{1/4%tsp}, and @kosher salt{1/4%tsp} until the yolks and whites are one colour — this is an omelette patty, not a scramble, so it wants beating properly.

Fold @bean sprouts{1%cup}(90 g), @napa cabbage{1%cup}(75 g; finely shredded), @scallions{3}(thinly sliced), and @char siu{4%oz}(115 g; diced) into @&(~1)beaten eggs{}.

Fry @&(~1)mixture{} in @peanut oil{1/4%cup}(60 mL) in a hot #skillet{} as four patties, a ladleful at a time, ~fry{3%min} a side, spooning oil over the top so the middle sets while the edges go lacy.

Ladle @house brown sauce{1%cup}(240 mL; hot) over @&(~1)patties{} at the table. The gravy is the dish as much as the egg is, and it is poured, never stirred in.
