The huge amount of ginger and garlic in this makes it special. I am seeing cream based dishes on more Asian menus, nowadays. It isn't authentic Asian, but neither is egg foo yung! The lemon juice adds a nice and bright fresh taste to it and the only thing I added additionally was cilantro. I like it!
