Egg Foo Yong

One of my favorite Chinese foods is Egg Foo Yong, which is nothing more than a Chinese-style omelet. Egg Foo Yong is like the 'Chinese' dish Chop Suey in that it was not developed in China, but in America by Chinese chefs.

Roasted garlic is able to do an amazing quick change artist. Before garlic is roasted it has a very harsh taste, and will literally change you if you bite into it in it's raw state, but once you cut the top off add a few drops of olive oil and some seasoning and put it in a garlic roaster or in foil if you don't have a roaster, and cook it for either 27 minutes in the roaster or 1 hours in the oven, the change in the garlic is very apparent.
