Procedures 1 For the marinade: Whisk together all marinade ingredients in medium-sized bowl. 2 For the sauce: Whisk together all the sauce ingredients together in another medium-sized bowl. 3 For the fried rice: Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise then crosswise. Add shrimp to bowl with sauce. Toss to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes. 4 Place wok over high heat until lightly smoking. Add bacon. Stir-fry until much of the fat has rendered off and bacon begins to crisp up, one to two minutes. Turn off heat, spoon out bacon, and drain on paper towel-lined plate. Transfer all but 1/2 tablespoon of fat to another container and save for another use. 5 Turn heat back to high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. When it begins to smoke, add eggs.

Turn heat back up to high, and add sauce. Stir constantly for one minute. Then reduce heat to medium, and cook until the rice coated with sauce, about one more minute. Add bacon, eggs and scallions.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
