[cooking with love]

I had all the ingrediens for this so I made it. It was pretty bland so I had to add Oyster sauce and chili paste to give it some flavor. But it was a nice clean the fridge dish. My family ate it but said it wasn't that special until I had spiced it up a bit. My DH likes stir fry best when his eyes water from the spice. Me I am not so brave. Probably won't make again. Thank you anyway for posting.
