 Q&A

 Can I make it without oyster sauce?

Yes—just add a little extra soy sauce + a pinch of sugar or mushroom sauce for depth.

 How do I keep veggies crisp?

Use high heat and don’t overcook—stir-fry quickly.

 Can I meal prep this?

Yes, but slightly undercook veggies so they don’t get soft when reheated.

 Is it freezer-friendly?

Not ideal—mushrooms and broccoli lose texture after freezing.

 Can I make it spicy?

Yes—add chili flakes, sriracha, or chili garlic sauce 🔥
