Take half a pound of chicken cut from the breast and half a pound of lean pork,
and cut both into small pieces. Heat three tablespoonfuls of sweet lard; when it
is well melted, put the above meat in the fat and fry until brown, stirring to
keep it from burning. Have ready the following ingredients: One half pound of
fresh or dried mushrooms which have been washed in lukewarm water (if dried
mushrooms are used, soak them for ten minutes and pull off the stalks), half a
bunch of celery chopped small, a dozen lotus seeds or water chestnuts peeled and
cut into thin slices. Cut up one onion, also half a can of bamboo shoots and two
pounds of bean sprouts. Wash all well and drain in colander. Put all these,
except the bean sprouts, with the meat, and cook for ten minutes; now add the
bean sprouts, one and one half tablespoonfuls of syou, a dash of cayenne pepper,
and salt, and cook for five minutes. Serve with rice.
