Comments
I have been making this recipe since the late 60's and at this point 3 generations love it. It came from Effie Hanson, my sister's next door neighbor in military housing in Hawaii. Thank you, Effie! I never add any salt because of the saltiness of the bacon and soy sauce but often add additional soy sauce while cooking. If there are any leftovers, the flavors only blend and get better. Because of all the protien, the 4 in our family have polished this off as a main dish.
