The quiver in his voice when he said this is one of the best sandwiches he's ever had. I FELT THAT. Making for Christmas Eve 🎄
St. Pauls where in St. Louis way before the '80's. I'm 65 and had St. Pauls when I was a child in the 60's. Everything else you said was totally correct. Thank you for sharing a little bit of St. Louis with the world.
St Paul Sandwiches brings back so many memories! Bing Lau's Chop Suey in North St. Louis was one of the first restaurants that sold these sandwiches as well as egg foo young back in the early 1970's. Anyone remember that place. Please comment if you do!!
Heck yeah. John's Chop Suey Goodfellow and West Forissant
Yes still eat there
Brought back some wonderful memories😊of growing up in East St. Louis. Eating this sandwich madw living in poverty not as bad.always 4 pickles.😊 .Thank you.
This was not what I was expecting when I saw the thumbnail. Looks great
Is good 👍
Another winner for white bread sandwiches. My summer favorite is thick cut homegrown tomatoes on "welfare bread" with lots of mayo and pepper.Thanks Bryan! 👍😋
This sandwich is so unique..... pickles with egg fu yung? You have piqued my curiosity.I am definitely going to try it for lunch tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe. 🙂
Sung Sing takeout near the airport has the best St. Paul's sandwich in St. Louis! They are quite busy and there over 30 years. Must go to everytime I am in the area!
I like to add a dash of oyster sauce in each patty. Really helps the flavor
That looked so good. I'm going to try it soon.
Loved this sandwich !!
There needs to be a warning here..
These sandwiches are addictive! LOL
I swore off bread years ago for health reasons, but I'd make an exception and go way out of my way just to eat a St. Paul again. Yum!
I had never heard of this before, looks good!
great presentation on the sandwich. first time I've ever seen or heard of such a sandwich.
As a native Saint Louisan, we had St. Paul Sandwiches long before the 1980s….than you for this recipe!!
true that
This looks like a fantastic one to try, and thank you for having an alternative to deep-frying Mate!
FYI St. Paul sandwich has been a St. L thing a lot longer than the 80's 😏
Facts
Had St. Pauls at "chop suey" restaurant on Page and Taylor in the late 60s, early 70s.
I LOVE Egg Foo Yumg & have wanted a recipe for years! Never had as a sandwich nut will try now, definitely 👍
That was great! I want to try one now.
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf - thanks :)
Born and raised in St. Louis, they are Delicious!!!
Love this 👌🏾
STL in the house!!
Thanks for your sharing and I from Hongkong
Looks delish !! I have to try your recipe !! Thanks
This Sandwich Looks Good But I Would Omit Onions & Bean Sprouts I Don't Care For Them I Would Add ShreddedCheese & Browned Crumbled Sausage & Make Sandwiches With Rye Bread Instead Of White Sandwich Bread Looks Great!
The recipe that he gives (minus everyones own secret ingredients) is the general idea of how to nake one. It's a good base to start with which you can customize to make it your own. But, the original is so good.
Looks good. 🙂🇨🇦
The best ST.PAUL I've had came from KOWLOONS, at the corners of JENNINGS STATION ROAD& WESTFLOISSANT, in JENNINGS MO. Next to ROPERS RIB. GREAT SANDWICH, MMMMMMGOOD😷
They looked absolutely delicious 🤤
That looks yummy!
When I was a kid, my mom would make quiche and I couldn't eat it. It would make me gag and it always smelled so good, but the taste was just awful. After I grew up, and not having been forced to eat quiche in a while, I made some. It was wonderfully delicious! I called my mom to apologize for not eating hers and she asked how I made it. I told her and she said, "What about onion?" I said I don't like onion so I didn't put any in. That was the day I found out that I can't do eggs with onions. Also ham. I don't like eggs and ham, normal colored or green.
This looks awesome. Someday I will make it without the onions and ham.
You can use any meat you like….typically in STL, it’s chicken, ham, pork, shrimp or beef. We always add cornstarch to the batter to make it fluffier and some soy sauce as well. They’re literally scrumptious!!!
I'd try an egg based bread or a thick sliced Italian like a panini . Nice recipe
Imma try that egg based bread...like French toast or it comes like that
Nothing like some brown burnt eggs BARF
Though it was browner than what I'm used to seeing for a St. Paul, Idon't think that it's burnt. And the meat is typically cut into smaller pieces.
Egg Foo Young... haven't heard that dish name in years. It was one of this concoctions that I used to see in Chinese restaurants way back when. It always seemed to me like a dish that Chinese cooks made to appeal to American tastes, before American tastes became more global. I guess the St. Paul sandwich is another adaptation, Americanized even further. If it tastes good, who cares.
They are very good, if you’re ever in St Louis try one
@@harriette8802Agreed! I've considered road trips back to St. Louis just to eat another St. Paul. Yum 😊
A large number of the most popular dishes sold in American Chinese restaurants are dishes that were adapted to American tastes decades ago.
@@GaelinW yes, of course it's an American 'adaptatiin'. It's a sandwich on white bread 😊
I don't think anyone who goes for a St. Paul ever confuses one with authentic Chinese cuisine. It's just a popular 'fusion' sandwich that tastes great ( and the only time I would ever personally eat white bread).
@@smileawhile3788 - Ummm, sure. I'm not confused either. I wasn't talking about the sandwich. I was replying to the poster who said Egg Foo Young - the dish - was an adaption. I added that most "Chinese restaurant dishes" are adaptions.
Would definitely grill or toast that bread.
I agree that might be a good idea… though it would not be a "traditional" St Paul… I have also made them with whole Wheat bread which is also not traditional… I suspect the sandwich is too soft for anything hard grilled… so I would do it lightly… just my 2 cents… I ate these all the time in St. Louis… almost always they are served on Wonder Bread… go figure… but perhaps there is a reason.. .
The white bread absorbs the juices better than toasted bread and gives it a different texture and taste than with a toasted bread. Also, the more flimsy white bread somewhat molds itself around the egg portion.
I have never heard of this. I am fascinated.
It’s delicious
That would be delicious!
STL stand up!
I agree. Flame throwers from the gut up.
I would toast the bread and dip the egg foo young in gravy before assembling the sandwich.
Oh. My. Gosh! This looks so delicious!!! I am such a huge fan of Egg Foo Young!!! I definitely gonna try this one!!! 🌼
Delicious I’ll prepare it
Check out the Chop Suey sandwich that started in Salem,Ma
Now make St. Louis fried rice and Crab Rangoons
Sweet or savoury crab ragoons? I've even had spicy ragoons ( didn't like 'en though)
@@deandreturner8034 savory, of course
I used to say, "Some people will eat ANYTHING!" but this is really good, though. One is always suspect of anything that uses sandwich white "fake bread" and mayo, but this is good... weird, but good. Only in St. Louis, I guess
I feel like brioche bun might work well.
The brioche might work, but ya gotta try it with the white bread just once. It's delicious!
I can't tell you how many times I've considered a road trip back to St. Louis just to eat a St. Paul
Nah, it's gotta be on white "welfare" bread. Accept no substitutes. Brioche would be great for a smash burger tho.
Now you’re talking!! Or maybe potato bread as well 👍
I've lived in St. Louis. It needs to be white bread. Brioche would be too sweet for this. Save the brioche for fancier sandwiches.
this looks like a good one to try. and thank you for having an alternative to deep frying
Made this the other day and it was delicious, definitely will make again
Add cheese, and it's a burnt ham, egg, and cheese sandwich with pickles where im from
what's one half teaspoon of salt - 0.5 tsp or 1 tsp?
correction - 0.5 tsp or 1.5 tsp?
When i was a kid, I used to make sandwiches with leftover egg foo young with ketchup . 😋
Yummy 😋
✌
That looks really good! Thank you for sharing!
Y U M!!
@America's test kitchen if I were to use chicken, should I grill the chicken first and then chop it and add to mixture? I love foo young, but not sure in a sandwich. My interest is piqued enough to try fixing 1 🥪.
~ Yes grill the chicken first.
It would be a great way to use leftover chicken! With the price of groceries now you want to try and use it ALL
Thanks!
You can make a special St. Paul, which has chicken, shrimp and ham. Or use each meat to make an individual St.Paul (e.g., shrimp St. Paul).
@freddsims648 that sounds really good!
I thought this was a Fall River Massachusetts thing
Looks so good, can't wait to make it.
This not an St. Paul missing so many seasons, and ingredients😂😂😂
Mmm
People in St. Paul have never heard of these
That is kind of the point.
Whoa that looks delicious..I would love to try this.
What if I can not get bean sprouts? What's a good substitute?
Try to find a hearty sprout like radish, or cut a cabbage in the shreds.
Great if you can even find mung beans
It's gotta' be good Ol' cheap white Wonder Bread and Dukes Mayonnaise...and this sandwich will do the boogy-woogy on yer' taste buds, I garuuuuntee!
I've made this sandwich many times.
Toast.
Toast doesn't give you the same flavor as white bread, which absorbs the juices from the egg, tomato, pickle and mayonnaise.
Imagine that on a cinnamon roll! 🙂
@@iamadeintheUSA
I'm wondering, too.
🤮 But, that's just my thought.
there was a hair on one of the pickles!
It's a St.Louis thing
I wonder if the name of this sandwich is lies like the tenderloin they called a skinny from IA. Im from IA and alot of others that commented on it said it was a lie. No one heard of it called a skinny.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I agree. I said flame throwers from the belly up.
Why no MSG??
I don't think it's necessary.
Many people end up with a migraine after eating MSG.
@@mddell58 That storied rumor about MSG is psychosomatic. It's just a salt.
Looks delicious! I have celiac‘s, so I’m always looking for a tastey bread. It’s not easy.
As someone who grew up in the St Louis area, I’ve never had this sandwich, and I don’t know anyone who has. Nobody I know even heard about it until like 10 years ago when TH-camrs started talking about it being St Louis’s signature sandwich
What you must be young
@@AseAleisha 43. Just never crossed paths with this sandwich somehow.
Do you live in the county or the city? While some places in the county have it, it's much more common in the city.
Depends on the area of St. Louis you frequented, I guess. Definitely known in the city since at least the 60s. Read the comments and see how well known it is.
@@freddsims648 yeah man, not doubting it. I just find it strange how much it eluded me haha
Love this Oh hi friends
Curious..... Approximately how much would your sandwich cost if sold in a restaurant? It looks delicious. 😋 It's SO VERY HOT 🔥🔥 all week. I'd love to see something that's not hot & heavy, but not a standard salad. Thoughts? 🤔
They are sold for 3.80 to 5.60 ( depending on which restaurant). St.louis and regions around the city sell them. I like the Illinois ones.
With the inflation they are now $14.89
@@deandreturner8034
Interesting!
I live just across the Ohio River, directly above Louisville, Kentucky.
I've never heard of this 🥪 sandwich before.
I have tried to 'learn'
about the meals, etc., & the where, & beautiful spices,
etc. Thank you for you reply! 👍 Have a great month! ✅
@@deandreturner8034
Thank you for replying.
😃 👍
Your cousin Dylan was way cooler. 😎
I would just put the eggs on a plate and eat the rest of it as sides...so much less messy and just as good
Lol then it's not a sandwich, which was the point of this video
Messy can be good.... finger linking good.
Frittata sandwich?
I don’t think he’s from St. Louis cuz they don’t look like dat
That's not a St Paul with tomatoes
Those eggs are cooked COVERED for 8 minutes! Holy moly they're so overcooked I don't want to go anywhere them.
Ya thinking the same.
🤔
Shrug....🙂
Anything fried in lot of oil will taste good, but not healthy.
Great video, but your history is incorrect. It was actually invented in the 1940's by Steve Yuen.
The sandwich looks good, but I don't eat ham. Growing up I didn't really like eggs in my Chinese food. However, I would order shrimp fried rice with broccoli 🥦.
I’m a vegetarian and eat the sandwich often. It is still tasty without the meat. Give it a try.
Umm it's not an omelet nor do I care for bean sprouts but I've made ham and cheese sandwiches with scrambled eggs on them and toast them in the sandwich maker. Or the panini press when I had one. Those are good too.
I just lost my appetite
Mayo ruins everything
I'm an open minded eater but omg this looks horrible
Not a fan of the burnt egg flavor.
So it's a standard sandwich with a glorified omelette as the filler. I'm sure it's good, but that looks like something a broke college kid came up with to stretch their dollar.
It's something different, stop hating!
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Looks gross
Sandwich looks good, but those tomatoes look horrible...
Yes!! I hate awful, zero flavor 'hothouse, mealy' 🍅 tomatoes. ❌
I was shocked 2 days ago, had a Rally's regular hamburger, & there sat two garden, REALLY GOOD RED roma tomato slices!
I thought, WOW! 😋
Not a fan of egg foo young. Don’t even want it on a sandwich
That looks Horrible. America Asian food. Like Chop Suey. So wrong.
Obviously you've never actually eaten one. They're delicious.
@@smileawhile3788 The joke is on you.
Is it restaurant dish??? Wow! It's absolutely ordinary home dish to give to children to school! 👎
it is a Chinese take out dish common in St. Louis…
It's a perfect dish for kids to take to school for lunch; very filling with protein, carbs, vegetables
So what is wrong with it?
I know as chefs who are by nature into preparing the tastiest of dishes for the sake of flavor to be a difficult ask, but have any of you considered going vegan. It's really a travesty what humanity is doing to animals almost solely to satisfy one of our senses. Just think how you could stand apart from almost all other chefs if you focused your talents on making plant based foods as tasty as possible and helped to change the world for the better.
That's nice, dear.
Americas Test Kitchen is a business - full stop.

From comments I've seen of yours to other posts, I take it that your somewhat cryptic post is in disagreement with me. If you want to discuss aspects of it, I'm cool with it, but please bring more than you did with your rather pointless first response.
