Title: Ginseng Shreds Stir Rice - for a Special Meal
Categories: Chinese Rice Ceideburg
Yield: 1 Servings

9	c	Pre steamed rice
2		Ounces finely chopped Ginseng
2	tb	Soy sauce
2	tb	Vegetable oil
1	ts	Salt
3		Onions shredded
3		Sweet peppers shredded
1	lb	Celery

Steam and simmer rice. Use 1 heaping tablespoon vegetable oil and stir rice in a skillet over a big fire for 1 or 2 minutes. Take out the rice.

Heat the remaining vegetable oil over a big fire until hot. Put in finely chopped Ginseng, onions, peppers, celery and salt and stir for 2 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 7 minutes. Then it's ready.

Almost all Chinese soups and stews are adaptable to Ginseng, with the exception of those having citrus fruits as an ingredient. I've given you a start here, but experiment. Dig up a Chinese cookbook and try out a few recipes.
