🥪 The St. Paul sandwich — a fried egg foo young patty between slices of white bread — is more than a signature dish of St. Louis. It tells the story of immigrants who arrived in Missouri and cooked to survive. (kcur)
After leaving a war-torn Vietnam in 1978, Qui Tran and his parents spent years in refugee camps before eventually settling in St. Louis.
In a St. Paul sandwich, a hot, crispy egg foo young patty is nestled between two soft slices of white bread, topped with pickles, lettuce, tomato and a slather of creamy mayo.In addition to being delicious, it was the sandwich's affordability that made it so popular. A normal order of egg foo young costs around $11, but the St. Paul sandwich can be yours for a mere $6.
But the most popular theory declares that the sandwich was invented in the 1940s by Steven Yuen, owner of the Park Chop Suey restaurant in St. Louis. “It tells a story of immigrants who arrived in a new place and cooked to survive,” says Jennifer 8. Lee, producer of the documentary “Like these sandwiches, Chinese American chop suey was also a business tactic, designed to cater to American taste buds. Lee says the recipe always includes a familiar meat like chicken or pork, and crispy vegetables like snow peas, water chestnuts and bean sprouts that are"just exotic enough" without being"too weird.
