I subbed the oyster sauce for soy being as I am vegetarian i'm sure this would have made a difference but what I don't know. Be careful when frying the ginger for this my first batch burnt immediately as I had the heat too high and was bitter. A good side dish to go with the other half's duck pancakes the flavours combined nicely but I wasn't blown away myself.

Used a bit more oil as I found it a bit dry the first time around. Very tasty and simple to make.
