Serves 4
Recipe Can be halved or double
Takes less than 20 minutes to make
Ingredients
Notes :
Chinese rice vinegar is available in both Coles and woolworths
You can substitute the frozen stir-fry vegetables for fresh by using carrots, broccoli, celery,snow peas but this will increase the budget

Meanwhile, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce and wine in a bowl. Place the noodles in a colander and rinse well under hot water.
