The Jewish fondness for Chinese food is the stuff of legend - and jokes. (Question: If this is year 4705 in the Chinese calendar, and 5768 in the Jewish calendar, what did the Jews eat for the first 1000 years?) But this is no joke: when Congregation Mayim Rabim holds its annual Hannukah party next Sunday, vegetarian Chinese food will be on the menu - provided by Evergreen Taiwanese Restaurant, 2424 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis.
