Chef's Tips

For a vegetarian option, substitute the shrimp with tofu or mushrooms.

Adjust the amount of oyster sauce and soy sauce to your preference.

Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas.

Cook the noodles al dente to avoid them becoming mushy during the stir-fry process.
