T

his egg foo young recipe has a delicious sauce that goes on top of the patties. This recipe is unique because it was necessary to pay for my red 1966 Volkswagen Bug while in high school, I acquired it by working at a Chinese restaurant. The recipe card is torn and stained now, but the dish is the most delicious egg foo young I've experienced. To serve, place the egg patty over steamed rice and pour the sauce over it.
