Yangzhou fried rice is similar to the shrimp fried rice I posted three months ago except that the former has Chinese barbeque pork as an additional main ingredient. This recipe uses the most basic and easy to find ingredients. It is delicious and very satisfying; reasons why I believe it is the most popular of all Chinese fried rice 🙂
