Stir Fried Beef in Oyster Sauce
Just as with so many awesome Asian dishes, this recipe is all about the prep and it all comes together in a flash once you turn the cooker on. Three things to remember here.

The next thing is that you just take the edge off the vegetables, you still want a little crunch once you’re done. And the final thing is to serve it with some Jasmine rice – you’re going to want it to soak up that salty, umami-rich sauce. Now go forth and enjoy!
