One of my favourite Asian recipes. Ironically it actually isn’t even from Singapore but I am told it has its origins in Hong Kong. Either way it is delicious. There are many different versions and mine is but one of them. Feel free to either add or switch out various proteins. ( Chicken, Beef, Pork, Fish, etc.) The thing that I like about it the most is that you don’t even need a wok to make it if you use my method. This recipe my seem difficult at first glance but it is really about prep. Once you get all the ingredients together and prepped it actually comes together quite fast as you shall see in the video. As always, I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
