The twood Avenue was my alma mater, while I was growing up in the 1940s and early 50s. Starting with the State Bank of the safety and Schenk-Huegel Department Store in Corners Schenk, a path 10 meters in Lowell school the corner of Fair Oaks Avenue and Maple had everything you need for life ... such as supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and cafes , pharmacies, gas stations galore, convenience stores, flower shops, a photo studio, watch and shoe repair, jewelry shops, clothing stores, clothing manufacturers and tailors, hairdressers and beauty salons, bars and taverns, liquor stores, hardware stores, dry cleaners, sporting goods, furniture stores and Radio , records and music. There were two bowling alleys, Eastwood Theatre, lofts Gordon Lumber Co., a Catholic Church and the Congregation of St. Bernard School, Insurance, Employers Association Club East Side, Madison-Kipp, Station No. 10 U.S., and our beautiful brick Red Fire Station No. . 5 ready for action 24/7. Between the two were plumbers, electricians, and more, and trapped in the buildings of the second floor offices with doctors, dentists and lawyers overwhelmed. All this and more shops on Friday night Atwood Avenue open was the place for many reasons.
Corridor 10 block created a small town atmosphere for those of us lucky enough to live. For a young person with a nickel or a dime, stopping at the Dutch Maid Ice Cream Parlor, Polar Bear Root Beer Stand, or Dixie Cream Donut Shop has assured us that this is the best place in the world to live.
Many changes have taken place since then, and our dear old Atwood Avenue continues to shine today, while in the midst of a revival of a revival with the excitement in the air still enjoy "instead of fun, food and style" with other heart rate at 26 ., and July 27, 2014 during AtwoodFest.
A few weeks ago I went in this direction to 2044 Atwood, where the old Curtis Furniture Co. was stopped in the 1950s is located. Sensing the need dine-in/carry-out Magic Wok Cantonese restaurant opened in February consult in the old furniture building, which met with the owner John and his wife Paula Ma Le Chat over a meal of roast pork reader Stan and Cathy Nelson has a few years ago the name Yee in South Webster Street has been. I was not familiar with the court, but the question of whether he so widespread egg foo young fried pies instead omelet style, today, he smiled and nodded and asked me if I would try version. To I smiled and nodded, like so, and expects close to what too long in small bowls Cathay old house was served at the corner of Union be.
Sitting at a table by the window, Magic Wok studied the menu and was served by the wide range available Tuesday to Sunday, including lunch impressed. Where a rice dish with three thick plates I came potatoes garnished with salsa as was added, and a few extra shakes of soy sauce sauce, I decided to enjoy the interpretation of my egg foo young chicken.
It is important to remember that the preparation of food, as the dialects differ from city to city has its best to explain how Egg Foo Young was and is something like this, minus the following amounts and Ma:
"When the chicken Small pieces of chicken before mixing to reach the egg whites mixed with fresh bean sprouts and spring onions, about 80 percent .. excavated before cutting into small pieces in egg foo young damped With a large scoop the mixture and cakes for frying is inserted into hot rapeseed oil round bread on the opposite side you browned a little oil in the pan. When you are done, put in a bowl and covered with a sauce and stir in the flour until lightly browned by heating. At this point, A mixture of chicken broth, sugar, salt and soy sauce stir until the golden age mixed with water. Continue stirring and cook until the sauce has thickened. "
Note: If fresh bean sprouts, quickly immerse in boiling water and drain well before the egg foo young mix. When making the use of bean sprouts canned, drain and save juice and dry carbon. Juice drained bean sprouts can be used instead of water in the sauce.
This should not be a leader, and experience in your own kitchen, knowing that egg foo young can be vegetarian or with beef, pork or shrimp. Would you like to chop the water chestnuts to want to add pancakes with other Chinese vegetables in your own ideas. Compared to similar recipes in other books of Chinese food will also help a lot.
I do not know how say "good luck" in Chinese, but the Italian is Buona Fortuna!
I decided to re-examine some of my own books on Chinese cuisine with quantities that could help in their own egg foo yung sauce.
Egg foo young sauce
1 cup chicken broth (see note)
Soy sauce 1 tsp
½ tsp salt
¼ teaspoon MSG
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Heat soup, soy sauce, salt and monosodium glutamate. Mix cornstarch mixed with water to a smooth paste and stir into the soup pasta, stirring until the sauce thickens. Pour sauce over egg foo young patties.
Note: Other locations soup can be used depending on the meat, fish or vegetarian ingredients. I've also noticed that some sauces use small amounts of sugar and other added sesame oil, dark soy sauce and / or oyster sauce for flavor more pronounced.
A good example of how to add a personal touch, this old favorite of mine that you may enjoy as it is, or the use of the specific things that you like the taste. It was in the book of the bicentennial "of officials of the Wisconsin National Guard is based in Madison women I conducted and published in 1976 presented.

Thickening fast serve with the corn starch mixture and immediately. Serves 4 to 6
No one asked marinated cashew nuts, but because glass is a popular Chinese snack, I thought I would like.

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
1 cup unsalted cashews
Combine honey, sugar, orange juice and Grand Marnier in a medium bowl. Stir in cashews. Place in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
