St Paul Sandwich

---

A take-off of the well known cantonese egg fu yung and local to the st. Louis area, this can now be found nationwide, in the local chop suey houses and chinese express type restaurants. Surprisingly, the sandwich has nothing to do with st. Paul and why the sandwich is named that is unclear. But for anyone growing up in the st. Louis area might find this sandwich to be a happy memory, and a recipe almost lost to the culinary community.
