Notes

  • Slice steak thinly by placing it in the freezer before cutting.
  • Substitute oyster sauce with LEE KUM KEE Vegetarian Stir-Fry Sauce for shellfish allergies.
  • Use rice wine, not rice wine vinegar, for the authentic flavor.
  • Quality ingredients like Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce make a difference in taste.
  • Take care not to overcook the broccoli for the best texture.
