Title: YOUNG JEWEL FRIED RICE (YEUNG CHAU CHOW FAAN)
Categories: Chinese, Rice
Yield: 6 servings

4 c Hot cooked rice
1 c Diced roast pork
1 c Diced cooked shrimp
1 c Diced cooked chicken
2 c Fresh bean sprouts
2 Scallions, chopped,
-including green ends
1 c Shredded lettuce
2 Eggs, slightly stirred
1/4 ts Ground pepper
1 ts M.s.g.
1/4 c Soy sauce
1/4 c Vegetable oil

Add, subtract, substitute to your heart’s content.

Mix together pepper, m.s.g. and soy sauce and set
aside.

Heat wok or frying pan hot and dry. Add one half of
the oil. Turn heat to medium. Add the eggs, and stir
lightly so the whites and yolks are mixed slightly.
Remove from pan while still a little soft, and put
aside.

Turn up heat; add remainder of oil and add the meats,
bean sprouts and scallions. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
Add the hot rice. Pour soy sauce mixture and mix
thoroughly. Put back the scrambled eggs. Turn off
heat and add the lettuce. Stir and serve.

Substitutions and Variations: The fresh bean sprouts
may not be obtainable in your area. You may leave
them out of the recipe and increase the amount of
shredded lettuce to 2 cups. A small green pepper,
halved and finely diced is also a good substitute for
the bean sprouts, and will brighten the color.
