Notes
NOTE: You can add a can of sliced water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, drained, if desired.NOTE: I recommend you have all your veggies and meat cut and the whole recipe ready to go once you begin heating your oil. It cooks very fast and you need to have everything ready.NOTE: Oyster sauce uses soy sauce in the ingredients. Most soy sauces are NOT gluten free (except Tamari). If you desire to keep this recipe gluten free, then omit the oyster sauce.NOTE: I actually preferred using six cups of prepared rice for this amount of meat and veggies. This yields about 10 servings.NOTE:Warning! Preparation time does not include time required to pre-cook rice and allow to cool before using in this recipe.
