I cook this stir fry dish few nights ago. It can be prepared in breeze and all the ingredients are accessible locally. This is the first time I tried out this combination. My hubby likes it a lot too. He said it is refreshing. To make the dish more savour and meaty, I added in some minced pork. It really brings out the flavour of the dish.
