    Read through the entire recipe before cooking. As you can see, stir-fries are quick and require constant attention. Kylie's recipe gives great insight into how she creates her dishes by combining classical ingredients with cooking methods from Southeast China. This dish is meant to be a side dish to a main course, and so it can easily feed more than two people.
