This is what I am making for dinner tonight. The recipe came
from www.chinesefooddiy.com I was actually looking for a
decent War Su Gai recipe and came across this one along with
the one I was searching for. I'm going to omit the MSG. I'm
going to steam some rice and make egg drop soup to
accompany. I'll probably throw some veggies in the wok,
green bell peppers, bamboo shoots, spring onions, red and
yellow bell pepper cooked in sesame oil.
