Introduction

I use fresh ingredients, except for the bean sprouts, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. It takes a while to get everything cut up and ready, but it's worth the effort. If you want to save time you can always use frozen or prepared vegetables, but the results are not the same. You can also substitute any other meat for the chicken. I sometimes use ground turkey, or choped up pork steak. I use fresh ingredients, except for the bean sprouts, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots.
