This way is actually the Indian way of cooking Chinese food. Hakka cuisine is a lot different and infact it is a way of cooking of a region

Use salt sparingly, soya sauce can be very saltly, using low sodium variety makes it easier to control the saltiness of a dish

Add some rice wine vinegar or red wine vinegar or regular white vinegar for a tangier taste

Adjust vegetables as per your liking, add bean sprouts if you like

Drizzle chilli oil on top if you want, by the way, chilli oil is oil infused with red chillies for flavour and colour
