Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Pearl Of The Orient is a Chinese restaurant in Ohio. This recipe is a great copycat version of their Young Chow Fried Rice. It calls for shrimp, ham, and shredded barbecued pork which is the signature ingredient in Young Chow rice (also commonly spelled Yeung Chow).

3 cups cooked white rice (long grain)
2 ounces cooked baby shrimp (size 70-90)
2 ounces boiled ham (diced)
2 ounces shredded pork butt (cooked)
1 egg, scrambled medium done
2 ounces frozen peas and carrots
1/2 scallion, diced (use both green and white)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 dash white pepper
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons soybean oil
Heat wok until very hot (so food won't stick to wok), add soybean oil, heat for 1 minute. Add shrimp, ham, pork, egg, peas and carrots, and scallions. Stir fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes.
Add cooked rice and the salt, sugar and white pepper, stir fry until the rice has a fried aroma. Now add the sesame oil and stir for 2 minutes. Dish out and enjoy.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
