TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The ginger, kecap manis, and oyster sauce combination delivers bold, fragrant flavour that many describe as better than takeaway. Some found the sauce too sweet or salty, so adjusting quantities to taste is worth considering.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward weeknight meal, with the bulk of the effort in slicing the vegetables before a fast cooktop finish.
  • Suggestions: Several customers recommend using only half the kecap manis and oyster sauce to reduce sweetness and saltiness, and adding chilli flakes or fresh chilli for a bit of heat. A squeeze of lemon is well worth including, as many noted it cuts through the richness of the sauce beautifully.
  • Leftovers: This dish reheats well and makes a great next-day lunch; some customers noted the flavour improves after a night in the fridge, and it also freezes well in portions.
  • Portions: A number of customers felt the vegetable quantity was light for a stir-fry, with broccoli, capsicum, baby corn, or bok choy suggested as easy additions to bulk it out.
