I tried this for dinner tonight and it was widely enjoyed. I didn’t have garlic chili sauce, however (we are spice wimps) so I used black bean sauce instead which doubtless altered the taste…but I like black beans.

While I no longer live in SF, I do recall the crazy little old Chinese women. I had to go do laundry at around 1am in order to avoid fighting with them for a dryer at the free dryer place.

Judy, I’m glad I’m not the only one afraid of them… LOL!

C(h)ristine, using ground beef would be equally as good. You could use dark meat ground chicken or turkey too.

mrmmm! This sounds delish. I wonder though–if one could substitute beef for the pork? We don’t eat pork at our house, but this sounds so good!

Sometimes I crave food like this too, Chuck. It’s very simple yet satisfying, and it’s the perfect contrast to rich holiday food that is so abundant this time of year.

I had to smile at your comment on the crazy Chinese grandmothers. I’m afraid of them too!
