We had another basketball tournament this weekend and decided to drive a little further to see our oldest son in college. When you have three boys, the first order of business is to find a buffet …STAT! We found a delightful Chinese buffet, and one of the dishes on the menu reminded me of this recipe. This recipe is so rich, it can almost be served as a dip with crackers! The Chinese New Year was Feb. 5, so “Happy Belated New Year!”
