I’m writing this post for Xiaofen, my girlfriend. She has the cooking skills but being a second language English speaker, her writing would be even harder to read than mine. Today she cooked bacon shrimp fried rice and we thought we’d post the recipe.<\/p> \r\n\r\n
If anyone is curious fried rice in Chinese is chao mi. That’s the same chao (chow) as chow mein (fried noodles). Anyway in this one we used shrimp, bacon, wood’s ear and broccoli. Wood’s ear is a direct translation from the Chinese muer (wood ear). It is a type of mushroom<\/a> you could find in a Chinese grocery store but really any mushroom is fine. Actually you can substitute anything (within reason) you have in the fridge in the fried rice. But Xiaofen says wood’s ear mushroom can, according to Chinese medicine, clean your lungs and blood and reduce arterial sclerosis. I say it’s tasty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Stir it all together until it is mixed well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
