Absolutely love this, super easy! Made it twice now and decided to double the sauce. Not sure if just used to seeing takeaways but the portion sizes aren't overly generous.

After reading the comments below used to cloves of garlic crushed and a red chilli finely chopped fried in with the peppers, I also added some soy sauce into the sauce mix. Really tasty but if I make it again I will boil the noodles separately to the veg as they didn't need as long so came out a little mushy!

I made this recipe at school for catering. I added extra oyster sauce, soy sauce, bean sprouts and garlic. I forgot to use the ketchup but it still tasted really nice!

Just made this dish and it was very nice, I took the advice of one or two other comments and added ginger, garlic, chilli peppers and a splash of soy.

This went down a storm with my 6 yr old daughter and is a great way to get her to try more veggies. I made it with leftover roast chicken instead of prawns and added an extra tbsp of oyster sauce, but still very tasty. So easy to make, even my husband managed it!!

This was very quick to put together. Sprinkled some salted peanuts on at the end to give it some texture.
