When I was away from home during college, this was one of the dishes that I missed. My Sako gave me this recipe so I could have a piece of home wherever I was in the world.
I make this dish every time we have dimsum at home since this is also my husband’s favorite. My Sako is no longer on this Earth with us but I always remember her and say a little prayer when I make this.♥️ This is her original recipe, I just double it to serve everyone at home.

1/4 cup shrimp peeled and cut
1/2 cup chicken breast cut into small bite sized cubes
1/2 cup pork kasim cut into small bite sized cubes

1/2 cup canned mushrooms sliced and cut into bite sized pieces
1TBSP Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sesame oul
1/2 pork broth cube
2 thin big slices of ginger so it’s easy to remove when the rice is ready to serve
