Cooks' Note

Finely chopped, cooked pork, ham, or shrimp can be substituted for bacon. The key to stir-frying is to make sure that the pan is very hot before you start and to keep the food moving quickly, using a wooden spoon or paddle or two. Use leftover brown rice if you have any on hand; it will reheat nicely as you stir-fry.
