Perhaps start off with some homemade egg-drop soup. Add tomato juice to pork mixture, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Drain beans, return to Dutch oven, add pork mixture and shrimp, and stir thoroughly. Cover and continue cooking until shrimp is done, about 5 minutes. Fluff while seasoning to taste with salt and white pepper and serve.
Many people dine out for Chinese food rather than attempting to make it at home.
In most Chinese recipes, the peeling and chopping of vegetables generally takes longer than the actual cooking process. Food processors have simplified cooking by making bags of pre-chopped vegetables available. This flavorful recipe is quick to prepare, with very little chopping required. It features mung beans, a fairly unfamiliar legume to Americans but a popular ingredient in Chinese cookery. Mung beans are good sources of protein and fiber.
