The flavor here was just perfect even though I made a couple of small changes. I didn't have black mushrooms, so I used canned shitakes... bad idea; too chewy. I also left out the pork and shrimp - didn't have it -- and added peas. I used the sherry as opposed to the rice wine and saved myself some time by buying already prepared sizzling rice at a huge Asian store nearby. All I had to do was fry it and go. Thanks for a great keeper!
