Instructions

- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create the stir-fry sauce.

- Serve hot and enjoy this delightful dish with your choice of protein, such as chicken, beef, or tofu, if desired.
Tips
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
