I want to try these!

Yep, kids can be @#$%@s! Glad you all see the wisdom of holding on to your culture. As an all white mutt of Welsh, German and French Canadian extractions I wish I had a more interesting heritage. Probably why I have an affinity for other cultures and especially their foods. Don’t get me wrong, my folks were darned good cooks and my mother was a recipe stealer; dine out and then recreate the recipes at home. Food growing up at home was mostly American fare with a goodly amount of Italian dishes but that was probably the normal exotic food in the 70′s!! Not a drop of Italian blood in the family though.

[...] the recipe from my mom, but I haven’t had the chance. However, I did find this recipe from Use Real Butter that appears to be similar to the one my mom uses. Though I think my mom uses a five spice package [...]

These look great. I am a non-Jew raising Jewish kids, so I have an idea of what you mean by “outsider”. However, check this out: About 2 years ago a friend from Shanghai made some soy eggs along with a bunch of other yummy Chinese dishes for a new year’s celebration. I fell in love with those soy eggs.
So now it’s time for Passover, we have to have a roasted egg on the seder plate … but I’ve decided to try something new — soy eggs instead! Now that’s a great mixing of various cultures.
Just remember, you are you, whoever that may be, and you are a beautiful person — clearly illustrated from your story here.

My mom used to make me “shoyu eggs” and “shoyu wienies” when I was little. Shoyu is Japanese for soy sauce. The eggs were just eggs scrambled with soy sauce, and the “shoyu wienies” were sliced hot dogs fried with soy sauce and sugar. They were both totally ghetto, but total comfort food as well. “Shoyu Wienies” sounds pretty pornographic, though, now that I think of it. Anyway, I’m making these eggs tonight, along with your soy sauce chicken… I can’t wait!
