Stir-fry meat and vegetable is the best way to use up leftover ingredients from the fridge. It doesn’t need exact measurements of ingredients and seasonings. Add whatever on hand and stir-fry together, and that will always work. For example, if you don’t have Asparagus, use broccoli or brown onion. One of the seasonings used for the dish was oyster sauce. It has touch of sweetness already, but you could add some honey or sugar if you like. Mix and match, and enjoy!
