Steamed Vegetable Noodles with Oyster Sauce

I'm trying to have one non-meat meal per week (does oyster sauce count as vegetarian?) so I try steamed vegetable noodles with oyster sauce.
I cut thick straws of carrot and wide slices of pak choi to steam above a nest of noodles in simmering water, while I finely chop garlic and chilli into a mug before adding a splodge of oyster sauce. Once the noodles and veg has finished cooking I add tablespoon of the simmering water to the oyster sauce and stir while warming. Placing the veg over the noodles, I pour over the oyster sauce finishing with a dash of soy sauce. 10 minutes duration: the hot, salty sauce alternates with the freshness of the vegetables on the palate for a quick, easy dinner.
