Would love to see that recipe. If you find it please share!

[Love to travel]

Ditto that. I think you're thinking of Jade Garden. We used to go there all the time in the 90's. At some point the owner (Nancy, does anyone remember her and her family? I always wondered what happened to them b/c all of a sudden they were no longer there and it seemed like the place was under new management) left and we stopped going. It was our favorite Chinese place back then.
