Key risk: Stir-fried vegetables are the most deceptive item on a Chinese menu. 'Vegetables' on a menu automatically means oyster sauce is used as the finishing sauce. This is so standard that restaurant staff may not understand why this is relevant. Oyster sauce adds shellfish, wheat, and soy to an otherwise allergen-free plate.
