Stir-fried in Oyster Sauce

I was quite busy for recent weeks due to my officeworks. I bought lots of stuffs early last month: potatoes, tofu, tempeh, meats & chicken, bunches of fresh veggies, herbs & roots, dried salted fish, boxes of fresh milk, etc. I thought I could use them up by end of the month as usual, but... my officeworks forced me to forget them! I was awfully busy, engaged in tight schedules & deadlines to year end projects. I then gave some to Mom and asked her to cook them for me :D (sshhh... I know, I know wat you gonna say to me :)) ).
You know how much I love cooking. Away from kitchen really makes me feel like I'm prisoned in hungry for hundred years, hahahaha... Yesterday I started my kitchenworks again, thinking of something to cook quickly, only to satisfy my craving of cooking.
Stir-frying is always my best choice in uncompromised time. It's quick, easy & delicious. Oyster sauce is my magic element. It enhanced the flavour and taste of anything you throw in frying pan, believe me!
