This was really good and too easy. I used 1/2 chili oil and 1/2 canola oil. Will use all chili oil next time. . Added 1/3 cup sliced onion to the meat. Next time will use a more tender piece of meat or marinate it for a few hours first. Only had chopped frozen spinach which worked just fine. Since it is February and no fresh mint in my garden, I used cilantro.
