Following Skagit Valley's Linda Lou's Moo Goo Gai Pan Directions

That is a wok you see here, with a big batch of Moo Goo Gai Pan, freshly stir-fried for the final Friday of September lunch.

A couple days ago I was talking to the Skagit Valley's renowned culinary savant, known as Linda Lou, when Linda Lou mentioned that she had made Moo Goo Gai Pan for lunch that day.

Is that easy to make, asked I? Yes, super simple said Linda Lou, adding that she would send me the recipe.

And, so she did.

I'm not great with complicated recipes requiring multiple stages, but I managed to do so with the Moo Goo Gai Pan.

Moo Goo Gai Pan first entered my vocabulary way back in the 1970s, via The Bob Newhart Show. Moo Goo Gai Pan was Bob's frequent Chinese food home delivery order. I think it was a bit of a running joke type thing.

I remember, way back then, thinking I never see Moo Goo Gai Pan on a Chinese restaurant menu. And still never have. Or, if I have, I have forgotten seeing such.

But now I have managed to wok and eat Moo Goo Gai Pan, and now I understand why Bob liked it so much...
