These tasty bites of pasta are perfect for back porch picnics, where the kitchen is close at hand. Simply prepare the ravioli ahead and pop them into the oven for 5 min when your guests arrive.
Preheat the oven to 45 deg F. Coat 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
In a pie plate, combine the bread crumbs and oregano. Roll each hot ravioli in the crumb mixture until coated. Place the ravioli, 1" apart, on the baking sheets. Mist them with the nonstick spray.

RED COOKED EGGS #1
6 Eggs 1/4 cup Brown sugar 1/2 cup Dark soy sauce 1/2 cup Chicken broth 1 teaspoon Sesame oil Hoisin sauce oyster sauce
In a pot, cover the eggs with cold water; bring to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cool the eggs under cold running water, and shell them.
In a pan, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Heat the mixture, stirring to dissolve the brown sugar. Add the eggs. Simmer, covered for 1 hour. The liquid should cover the eggs, but if it does not, baste frequently.
Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand in the another hour, turning them from time to time, to ensure even coloring. Serve cut into halves or quarters, with dipping sauce. Makes 6 to 8 appetizer servings.
DIPPING SAUCE: In bowl, combine equal parts of the hoisin sauce and oyster sauce.
