<\/p>\"easy<\/a>\n

When I was 16, I worked at a Chinese-American restaurant. I definitely admire my bosses\u2019 work ethic, because it was one of the hardest jobs that I ever had. As God is my witness, I will never accept \u201cpeeling buckets of onions daily\u201d as a job requirement again! \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, I primarily made the American foods, but I did make a few of the easy Chinese dishes.<\/p>\n

In honor of the upcoming Chinese New Year (February 10th<\/sup>), I\u2019m going to share a couple of easy Chinese recipes this week. One of the things that I noticed was that the food that my bosses prepared for their family was very different from the food that they served to the general public\u2026it was much healthier. As such, I\u2019m sharing a healthy(ish) version of one of my favorite Chinese dishes\u2026egg foo young. I know that a lot of restaurants in New York add sprouts and cabbage or peas and carrots to their egg foo young, but I don\u2019t. I prepare the meat omelet the same way that I did 20+ years ago (?!). I just don\u2019t fry it in oil and I serve it with brown rice instead of white rice.<\/p>\n
