13 January 1977 - MIAMI GETS ITS FIRST RECORDED SNOW: Drivers pull over, children run out of classrooms, and signs on garbage trucks jokingly
promise 'Free Snow Removal' as a few white flakes fall from the sky in
the Miami area. It won't amount to more than a dusting, but Florida
residents will remember it for decades.

Title: Fiery Pork & Winter Bamboo Shoots over Snow
Categories: Oriental, Pork, Chilies, Vegetables, Rice
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lg End-cut pork chop
+=OR=+
1/2 lb Pork butt
1 1/4 c Slivered winter bamboo
- shoots
1 ts Minced ginger root
2 lg Garlic cloves
2 tb Peanut oil
1/2 c Chicken stock
1 ts Chilli paste w/garlic
pn Sugar
1 1/2 c Vegetable oil
1/2 c Rice stick noodles
2 ts Thin soy sauce
2 ts Cornstarch
Cornstarch paste
1 ts Chinese red vinegar

PREPARATION: Rinse bamboo shoots; slice & sliver to the
size of thick matchsticks. Slice pork like bamboo &
marinate in thin soy sauce & cornstarch for 10 minutes.
Peel & slice garlic in thin rounds. Combine stock, chili
paste & sugar.

DEEP-FRYING RICE STICK: Break up rice stick before
measuring. Heat vegetable oil in hot wok. When oil is
medium hot, test a few pieces of rice stick: it should fry
quickly to a puffy white. If it browns, turn down the
heat. Fry rice sticks in very small batches. Spread out
fried snow on serving platter, reserve in warm place.

STIR-FRYING: Clean wok; then reheat to very hot. Add
peanut oil, heating until it just begins to smoke; add
drained pork & stir-fry briskly for about 2 minutes. Add
bamboo, garlic & ginger. Toss with pork for 1 minute. Re-
stir liquids and add to wok. Cover wok, & simmer for 3
minutes. Remove cover; turn up heat again; boil briefly to
reduce sauce; sprinkle on vinegar. Ladle over rice stick &
serve.

Source unknown; looks plausible.

Note the fried rice sticks - a cool technique.
