Years ago, I would clean houses to help support my children. Often, my clients would be cooking when I arrived. If it smelled good, I would ask for the recipe. This recipe came from one of my customers, a dear, sweet lady, Mrs.Vick. It may not be authentic Chinese, but it sure is tasty. It should be served over rice.
