Thanks for this. So delicious
Hi there! You’re very welcome. We’re glad that you cooked and enjoyed our simple Filipino dish.
Is it good if stir-fried bean sprouts are mixed with carrot slices?
You can add it, but the flavor will be a little different. Any vegetable can be added based on your preferences. I highly suggest grating the carrot to the same size as the bean sprout. Thank you for stopping by.
