Notes: I learned to like stir-fry when I was in college at UW Stout. My roommate grew up in Hong Kong and introduced me to Chinese cooking. A wedding gift of a Betty Crocker cookbook yielded Betty's version of a Chinese Meal called Economy Beef with Pea Pods. (a truly gourmet sounding moniker) I have used and adapted this recipe over the years and substituted broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and many other vegetables I had on hand, including iceberg lettuce, to whip up my own versions when we craved Chinese food. I named my version in honor of an Asian character that would speak out (of me) in the dark of night to see if "we" could get Janice to laugh herself off the top bunk. She velly easiry to make raugh!
