Oyster Broccoli Stir fry noodles in peanut sauce

I recently got a Jamie Oliver can of spicy smoked oysters. In India, esp in the northern parts, oysters aren’t available easily and neither cooked often. So I bought this just to see how the experiment goes! I also got the flat egg noodles. one day I thought I’ll make something nice with these 2 ingredients. Luckily I had everything required for a stir fry in the fridge, and had just seen the episode of ‘Everyday Exotic’ on TLC to know about perfect stir fry technique. So here’s this fun recipe of Oyster Broccoli Stir fry noodles in peanut sauce. I am sure once you have this you’ll be making this every week! You can also change the recipe very easily for chicken, fish, eggs or any other main protein you wish to add.
