Growing up, my family had a favorite Chinese restaurant that we would frequent called the Szechwan Inn. We ordered our regular staples every time: Moo Shu Pork, Beef with Broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken.
Later in life, my brother Jared would meet his future wife Lilit and she enjoyed Avocado Egg Rolls - I remember making sure we had them at her bridal shower because they were one of her favorites at the time.
These memories inspired a homemade Chinese meal at home during a recent visit of my parents (Rush & Barb), Jared & Lilit from Sunny LA to NYC.
Here I am preparing for the feast
Marinating the kung pao chicken
This is the avocado egg roll filling - basically guacamole :)
Check out these finished avocado egg rolls - crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside
The final kung pao chicken dish - looks so similar to what we would get at Szechwan Inn!
I also made Beef with Broccoli but alas, did not get a photo!
I made vegan chinese at home this past weekend! There were so many sauces to make, but it was fun to have so many great flavors.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Did you use a protein or all vegetables?
