Notes

Tip
It’s important with stirfries to have all the ingredients prepped before you start cooking and it’s also ideal to have the table set.

Serve on noodles or rice.
Variation
Sometimes I like to add the noodles to the pan to be coated in that sauce as well.

You can add some grated ginger and chilli to spice it up a little.
