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.

Sweet and Silky Strawberry Sorbet
Unable to find the perfect sorbet recipe, I made my own. This sweet, soft strawberry sorbet rivals any brand in the grocery store. Most homemade sorbets resemble an icy slushie, but this one is thickened before freezing, yielding a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will please even the pickiest sorbet lover. It's dually great because it can be made in an ice cream machine or your regular freezer.
