This was yummy! I added a red bell pepper I needed to use up, and it added nice color and flavor. I also had to sub fish sauce for oyster and rice wine vinegar for sherry, and it was still good. Served over rice for dinner and having it with leftover quinoa today for lunch. Thanks for sharing! - 1/28/11
