AWESOME. The best BPC I ever tasted. I used the onions and green peppers in it. I would recommend if you are doubling the recipe, dont bother adding more white or black pepper. It was wonderful!!

Wow! I stumbled upon this recipe and I am so glad I did. This dish is my favorite at chinese restaurants and now I can make it at my own home and it is cheaper and better. I did add a little bit of water and a tad of brown sugar & green peppers (instead of peas and carrots) to make it a little closer to what I am used to. My kids even loved it. Thank you so much for blessing me with such a great recipe!

Hi-
I just made this. WOW SPICY. Mine is darker–purhaps the oyster sauce I’m using was darker than yours. I liked the flavor, but couldn’t eat much as it was too spicy hot. Also the coating of just corn starch tasted good but doesn’t look like yours or what it looks like at the resturant.

This is a great and easy recipe. And Jamy, I did use rice vinegar because that was what I had in my pantry. This is probably the first time, after many attempts, that I’ve actually cooked a Chinese dish at home that tastes like something from a restaurant! I did omit the peas and carrots due to personal tastes, but I am very impressed with the results and the little time it took to prepare it.

Jamy – Sorry, I would not recommend it but you never know? I could probably give you a substitute but is the problem you dont want to use alcohol? If so that might be a little hard.

Could rice vinegar be substituted for rice wine or Sake?

Allyson – I would say there is no real replacement, the closest thing would be mushroom soy sauce or just regular soy sauce but its not going to taste the same.

If you weren’t going to use the oyster sauce, what would you replace it with?
