I love stir fry, but I never seem to get it right.

The sauce never tastes right or the noodles land up swimming in the sauce.

My dad is not a huge fan of stir fry either.

When I came across this recipe in Cariema Isaacs cookbook, I really wanted to try it out because it took me forever to get my hands on a bottle of oyster sauce and now that I finally have the sauce, I love to make recipes that use it.

I was really eager to taste this dish, because one of the ingredients was bean sprouts, which I always see in the super market, and just by pass it, thinking who in their right mind would eat this… so much for my assumption, because this week I landed up buying and trying it out and it was soo delicious.

My father’s verdict well he opted to eat it with bread, rather than the egg noodles, I had made it with… apparently he did not see the huge bowl of noodles just sitting there on the counter next to the stir fry pan.
