I do a series on Tiktok called Kitchen Basics 101, where I teach the barebones basics, as if you have never cooked a day in your life, from the perspective of a mom. You can watch me step by step cook this and all my other recipes there! This classic takeout favorite can be made at home with pretty basic ingredients. It’s fast, flavorful & satisfying! It can be further elevated with a splash of oyster sauce & dark Shoyu ( soy sauce ) if you have it!
