almond guy ding
This is a Cantonese recipe from a Chinese cooking course that I took in Chinatown 45 years ago. Don't let the long list of ingredients put you off. Once the ingredients are prepped the cooking is very fast and easy. My family was very fond of my Chinese dishes. Check out my recipe for Chow Mien. If you prep the vegetables the night before, you will have a very fast dinner when you get home from work.
