Page 2 Section II Portland Observer, June 30,19R2 Easy gourmet meals begin with eggs G O L D E N E G G F U YONG CHICKEN SOUP IMPERIAL A quickly-made main dish soup, Chickan Soup Imperial, adds Ori ental flair to an eye-catching dinner that Includes spring rolls, a mar inated vegetable dish of carrots, pea pods and bamboo shoots Incredible eggs Sometimes described as the com plete food in a perfect package, eggs are the salvation o f m any cooks when unexpected company arrives, or when the lard er is low and the budget is straining. T a k e a h alf-d o zen eggs— and some delicious entrees or side dishes are possible. Eggs a re n ’ t only for b re ak fa st. They also are an ideal quick luncheon choice and fillin g enough for dinner. T o further enhance the highly edi ble egg, there is condensed soup to use as an ingredient, a cooking liq uid or a piquant sauce. When extra servings are a concern, soup helps to increase the volume o f food being prepared. T h a t’ s easy on the bud get. And since canned soup usually is on the shelf— th a t’s easy on the cook. One o f the most impressive egg dishes, undoubtedly, is the souffle. N o w , there is the rolled s o u f f l e - less intim idating for a novice cook to prepare, guaranteed not to “ f a ll,” and even able to be reheat ed. Rolled Souffle Escarole is a six- serving entree made w ith the same number o f eggs, condensed cream o f mushroom soup and a filling o f chopped escarole and cottage cheese. A fter the souffle is baked on a jel ly roll pan and is removed to a cook ie sheet, it is spread with the filling, then rolled jelly roll fashion and re turned to the oven for five minutes. G olden Egg Fu Yo n g , another six-eggs-dish, may be served as an entree or side dish and is prepared on top o f the stove. The eggs are com bined w ith condensed golden mushroom soup, sliced celery and green onions, bean sprouts and sea sonings that include teriyaki sauce. The mixture is spooned onto a hot g rid d le or skillet and then served with a sauce that has the remaining soup as a base. Six sliced hard-cooked eggs are layered in Sumptuous Salad— a de lig h tfu l d ep arture fro m the usual egg salad. This is a chilled loaf that begins w ith sliced m ushrooms browned in butter with garlic. A dd ed to the sauteed mushrooms are condensed cream o f shrim p soup, cooked noodles, m ayonnaise, chopped onion and pim iento and a dash o f hot pepper sauce. The noo dle mixture and eggs are layered into a lo a f pan, chilled fo r at least six hours and served garnished w ith chopped parsley. Decidedly d iffe re n t, these three new recipes prove once again that the incredible egg is one o f the most useful o f staple food products.
