2 cups white rice

Start cooking the rice. Put 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of water in a pot. Bring it to a boil then cover and turn down to low heat. Cook for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
3.Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a wok and place over high heat. When the oil is heated add the asparagus. Stir fry for 3 minutes or until the asparagus starts to turn golden on the edges. Remove the asparagus and add another tablespoon of oil. Add the beef, you may need to fry half at a time. Fry the beef for about 2 minutes stirring constantly. The beef won't be fully cooked, it should have quite a bit of red still. Add the bell pepper, stir fry mix and chinese pepper, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Add the cornstarch and cook for two more minutes or until the sauce thickens up. Next add the asparagus and bamboo shoots. Toss together for about 2 minutes.
