This is a winner for weekdays. We added asparagus along with the scallions. Threw in a small bit of fish sauce and small bit of red pepper flakes. Sooo quick and easy, which belies the sophisticated taste of the final dish

Easy, tasty, and a wonderful basic recipe. Tossing in additional vegetables such as snow peas or asparagus is also fun. Makes a good (and healthy) dinner with rice and a glass of white wine...
This was nice and quick! Easy to make too. I might add some other veggies and increase the oyster sauce.
