This is the first time, I cook Bakmoy (direct translation means Pork Porridge). Because I don´t eat Pork, substituted with chicken instead. After searching in internet, I decided to use my friend recipe at unser imbiss with slighly modification. Hmmm... Bakmoy is Indonesian Chinese dish, so that I could join Mochachocolata Rita´s chinese take out party for celebrating her 88th post.
