Moo Goo Chon Fon by DK on Mar 12, 2008

(Scene -1 : A nice lovely home decorated tastefully by the woman of the house( thats me! and since this is my story I can praise myself cant i?), filled with aroma drifting from the kitchen. There is a click at the door and the man of the house enters after a long day at work)


He : Honey! Am back from work. umm! Something smells delicious! Whats for dinner?
She : Moo Goo Chon Fon.
He : Bless You! Your cold's still hanging on to you?
She : Its gone long back. Why do you ask all of a sudden?
He : You jus sneezed!
She : Of course I dint! I was telling you, the menu for dinner!
He : (apprehensively) That Moo Moo thing? What! (haltingly)Is it something to do with a Cow?
She : (Shocked!)Of course not! I luv experimenting! But cooking non-veg! Comeon!
He : Oh well! Arent you taking this Excellent Guinea Pig Award thing too far!
She : (accusingly)Seriously! Do you think I will do something like that? Dont you trust me?
He : Oh well! I do, but I have some trouble doing the same to that moo moo thing! But ok I will give it a try! It does look good though! (pause) ( one spoonful makes a transit to the mouth..a sparkling blink in the eye!) OMG! Isnt this Mushroom Rice? You really took me for a ride...you moo moo you..
....
...
And they ate happily ever after!


Moo Goo Shon Fon is nothing but Mushroom Fried Rice where there is a tasty combo of mushrooms along with the dried ones. I love Mushrooms and I make them often enough. Recently, my advent to the stores made me buy a huge surplus of vegetables( this is why they say that you shouldnt go shopping on an empty stomach!) and I bought quite a variety of Mushrooms. The next day, I made this rice which was v good and appetising. The pics have been in my draft for quite a while, so I have approximate measuremtns to what went into the recipe.

Delicious mushroom rice. Made this for our dinner tonight & hope all of us will like it. Just sampled it & tasted great :)

I omitted beans & scallions as I didn't have them. Followed the recipe otherwise.

This sounds awesome! I'm a huge mushroom fan and three cups of mushrooms sounds just right to me! I made stuffed portobello mushroooms the other day. I can't go too long without indulging my mushroom cravings.

Lovely post and amazing recipe.
