Thai recipe

Mix the oyster sauce with the soy sauce, sugar, and oil. (Use Chinese spoons to measure!) Coat the meat in flour and then fry briefly in hot oil. The meat should remain white. Fry the cashew nuts in the oil until lightly browned. Add oil to the wok and heat the garlic. Add the mushrooms and fry briefly, then pour in the previously mixed sauce. Add the meat and the remaining vegetables and fry. Finally, mix in the cashew nuts and chili. Serve with rice. This recipe comes from a cooking class I attended during my vacation in Thailand.
