Sesame Oil is must for Chinese-inspired stir fry. It gives flavor to the dish. If you do not have sesame oil or do not prefer sesame oil, then go ahead with any vegetable oil of your choice.

Soy Sauce gives a tangy flavor to the stir fry. Oyster sauce can also be used in place of it, but if you're a vegan, stay away from adding it.

Balsamic Vinegar gives a good kick to the dish.

Chilli flakes adds a spicy flavor to the dish. You can adjust the quantity based on your personal taste preferences.

Salt & Sugar for seasoning
