If you ever fancy a Chinese takeaway, here’s a healthier option that you can prepare in no time. Oyster sauce is great to keep on hand for stir fries as it adds a lot of flavour even in very small amounts.
This is a flexible recipe so you can feel free to add any veggies that you have on hand. Why not add carrots, red capsicum, eggplant, baby corn, snow peas, yellow squash or even some finely sliced red chilli. You could serve this dish with some brown rice or cous cous. It also reheats well the next day for lunch.
