EGG FOO YOUNG
We have always loved to try new recipes. This recipe is a mash up between a recipe from the website
The Woks of Life
and an egg foo young recipe Carol has had forever, from back when we
used to hand write recipes on recipe cards and store them in little
boxes. We liked bits of both recipes, so we took from each and made a
new recipe. We add this recipe to the repertoire of dishes that pair
with Charbono. Enjoy!
