    Original poster'ss notes: Recipe calls for 1 teaspoon sesame oil before serving. Add 1 point to recipe total if use do this. I added a can of waterchestnuts and sliced bamboo shoots. The waterchestnuts add 1 point to total.

    Total - 7 points for whole recipe
    Total using sesame oil - 8 points for whole recipe
    *The recipe makes about 10 cups = 1.5 points per 2 cup serving.

    *2 points per 2 cup serving with sesame oil
