I got my meal bowl made with 90% veggies (celery, onions, green onions, water chestnuts) LOTS of hunan sauce (looks just like soy sauce but other spices in it) 10% little chicken pieces, Little bit more soy sauce, and chili oil. Oh my it was absolutely tasty and amazing. My only worry was even though I saw them make it do I really know they did not add oil. If they only used what was in my bowl (as far as I could tell, they did) I am golden, however my booklet said oil based sauces were bad. I looked up nutritionals on the web and it appears soy sauce-ish kind of sauces are in the clear. I certainly hope so! If this will be great to eat on plan, I will be learning how to cook up a good stir-fry IMMEDIATELY!</p> <p>I suppose if any extra oil is used in the future (maybe they only have that in case the customer doesnt add enough of their own sauces) I wonder how much would be added and should I worry about it. I would assume it is vegetable oil.</p> <p>Since I am a tad new, if this sounds off-plan or not a good idea I would love it if you let me know. Otherwise I am gonna really love vegetables more than ever especially on Friday lunch day!. P.S. How do I buy hunan sauce ;)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
