Very good!
I made this recipe Sunday, and forgot the prime rule of stir-fry: have everything ready before turning on the heat. I scorched the oyster sauce just a hair. I gave some to my Filipina girlfriend, and she just called and said “Oh…My…God… It was delicious!” I just remade it, and had everything ready and mixed before I turned on the heat. It’s better this time.
Thanks for your trying!
Can I use regular low sodium soy sauce in place of sweet soy sauce?
Sweet soy sauce is sweet. You can just add sugar plus the soy sauce.
