Trying new things

One thing I am learning as I discover new things I am capable of in the kitchen is not to be afraid of trying new things. I've come to think of it all as one big learning experience. For example, last night I was talking to my friend about chinese food of all things. Of course this set off the craving bell in my head and instantly I wanted some vegetable egg foo yung.

In the past I would have thought nothing of ringing up the old chinese take out and having instant gratification on my doorstep but now as budget doesn't allow much of that I had to envision this dish in my head. I mean I know for the most part what's in it when I order it. How hard could it be to make it? Answer...not very hard at all and luckily I had enough ingredients to pull it off. The sauce on the other hand came out ok but was missing a sweet note. This I will have to figure out next time.

The egg part came out surprisingly yummy and I even surprised myself with how incredibly easy this was. However next time I will use a smaller pan so it is easier to flip. These are the kinds of things you learn as you just get in the kitchen and give it a go. All in all my experience was fun and delicious. So get in the kitchen have some fun and don't be afraid of trying new things. You might surprise yourself. ~Curvy Cook

Ps. I made 2 patties one with regular eggs and the one pictured I made with egg beaters. They both tasted great! Once I perfect the sauce I will post a recipe :)
