Boneless pork chops cooked to perfection in the air fryer. This recipe is so easy and you couldn't ask for a more tender and juicy chop.
Shrimp Egg Foo Young
This egg foo young recipe includes a delicious sauce to put on top of the patties. This is a very special recipe acquired when I worked at a Chinese restaurant to pay for my red 1966 VW bug when in high school! The recipe card is tattered and spotted now, but the dish is the best egg foo young I have ever had. To serve, place egg patty over steamed rice and put the sauce on top.
Angel's Chunky Chicken Salad
I made up this recipe after a similar sandwich served at a diner. It's not the same, but just as good.
