ever had!

My notes:

I typically try to follow recipes to the tee when trying for the first time, but in this one, I used 8 oz. of small shrimp in lieu of 4 oz. of same plus 4 oz. of pork, since that’s what I had on hand. I also didn’t want to add more pork since the recipe already called for Chinese sausage (Lap Cheong).

I used three links of the Chinese sausage that equaled 4.5 oz. on my scale. I fried the sausage but should have done more research (or read the bloody label!) as it’s typically steamed. It’s rather greasy and snap, crackles, and pops while frying. I used one cup of jasmine rice that was boiled the night before in 1.5 cups of water with 1/2 TBS of salt. I did without the Chinese mushrooms. I thinly sliced up one large white onion to 1/8” and used about two-thirds. I tried “shredding” the scallions but it was no use! I just sliced them very thin. I used two deseeded dried red chilies and it gave the dish a nice bite without being too hot.

This was a great one-meal dish and can be altered to suit your taste in so many ways. Just add a minimal amount of oil (I used canola) when needed. Each and every bite was chock-full of flavor and texture.

P.S. I ate a big chunk out of the fried rice before soon realizing I’d forgotten the sliced egg in the fridge! So-very-not-a-problem and I have at least two more meals to polish it off. Poor me……

Aw thanks Curious. I bought the sausage at Wong Kai in Bradenton. I also picked up some fresh

Thai (bird's eye) chilies and a bottle of black soy. I'm gearing on making Drunken Noodles again but not as hot as last time. They were more like Mouth On Fire Noodles - Lol.

 
If you get to Bradenton often...

you should try to get to Bonni Bakes Edible Art.

Bonni is one of the old Gails gang...she was Bonni/NC.

She is an amazing baker and wonderful person. If you get to meet her, tell her I saud Hi!

Then buy some of her fantastic breads and treats.

Well I'll be darned! I've yet to explore the Village of the Arts but when I do, I

certainly will drop in and name-drop you. I can certainly understand why she's closed in July and August. In fact, native Floridians have told me that this is the hottest summer they've experienced.

Yep, I'm from Bradenton, home of Tropicana orange juice and tennis superstars who have trained/lived here! Drink that Tropicana, it's the best and I'm not just saying that because I live here. I loved it in Philly.

Thanks Judy. This will be a fun mission to visit Bonni's bakery when it reopens.

 
Looks Yummy! Nice pics! I purchased the sausage once to replicate Yum Khun Chen? Something like

that. It is a Thai Salad with thai basil and the steamed sausage that is then fried. I think I must head up to the Asian Market soon. This rice looks wonderful!

 
We are going to the Bradenton Farmer's Market in Village of the Arts tomorrow...

if you would like to go, wear a giant purple bow around your neck so I will see you!!
