Tips for Helpers
- Slice beef against the grain for tenderness.
- Keep heat high throughout cooking.
- Don't overcook the vegetables — they should still have some crunch.

- Chicken or pork can replace beef.
- Any vegetables work — use what is in season.
- Soy sauce alone works if no oyster sauce is available.
