Clean Beans
This unique recipe for "Clean Beans" (possibly a type of bean curd or bean product referred to as "Foo Foo") is presented with a quirky tone. It includes notes about its potential medicinal uses, suggesting the cook is "limited to 20 for medicinal purposes only," and that the main ingredient "C" can be used as a "bouillon soup culture" if not cooked. The recipe also mentions that while beef can be used, "all soy meat is Chinese." The author playfully adds, "If it's good you will have gained a friend."
