Chinese recipes

Nothing is more fascinating and delicious than eating at the open- air street hawker centers in Asia, particularly in Singapore. Each stall serves a specialty, typically an honest, unpretentious, home-style dish for $1 to $3 a plate. This rice noodle dish is hawker food at its best. If done right, its fragrance will tell you how good it's going to be as soon as it arrives at your table.

Rice is cooked with pork and shrimp, seasoned with soy sauce, garlic and chilis, and garnished with ham, cram, omelet and celeries. This one-pot meal is quick, easy to make, and fills you up with lots of deliciousness.
