    List of Ingredients




    2 Chicken breast halves, boned
    1 t Garlic salt, divided
    2 t Sherry, divided
    2 t Cornstarch, divided
    1 lb Shrimp, cleaned and peeled
    3 T Oil, divided
    1 lg Onion, finely chopped
    2 Celery stalks, finely-chopped
    1 T Soy sauce
    1/2 lb Mushrooms, sliced
    Ginger (1", peeled-and minced
    3 Garlic toes, peeled-and minced
    4 c Rice, cooked, cold
    6 oz Ham, diced
    8 oz Snow peas, fresh or frozen
    2 Eggs, beaten

    Note: Chow Fan is best made the day before you plan to serve it.

    Cut boned chicken into 1/2 squares; place in a bowl and sprinkle with half the garlic salt, half the sherry and half the cornstarch. Cut the peeled shrimp into pieces 1" long. Put them in a bowl with the rest of the garlic salt, sherry and cornstarch.

    Heat 2 T oil over high heat in a wok or large pan. Add onions and celery and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce; reduce heat to medium, cover and steam one minute. Add mushrooms, cover and steam 2 more minutes. Remove mixture to a large bowl.

    Add remaining oil to wok, reduce heat to low and add ginger and garlic.
    Brown lightly, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Add chicken and shrimp. Stir-fry two minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque.

    Add cooked rice, onion mixture and ham. Stir until hot. Remove from heat, put into a storage container and chill overnight. When ready to serve,reheat in a wok or large pot. Stir in snow peas and cook two minutes. Make a well in the center of the wok and stir in the beaten eggs. Stir them as they cook, about 3 minutes, so they scramble and mix with the other ingredients. Cover and cook over medium heat another couple of minutes. Serve at once.

    Serves 12 as part of a family style Chinese dinner, or 4 as a main dish.
