Makes a regular appearance in Asian dishes, from Pad See Ew to Asian Glazed Salmon to Honey Pepper Beef to Supreme Soy Noodles. Oyster sauce – A load of flavour, all in one sauce! It’s sweet and savoury and add is a neat flavour shortcut in dishes. But you cannot use only dark soy sauce as it will make the rice black and the soy flavour will be way too much!

Because I totally buy into the whole snap-frozen thing.īut if you’re a better person than me, please do not let me stop you from chopping up fresh vegetables. So quick to make – no chopping raw meat! And in my version, I’ve opted for even more convenience by making this with frozen diced veg. Have you ever thought to make fried rice with beef mince? It works beautifully!
