OYSTER SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• If using fresh oysters, steamed in pan with one cup water until opened (reserve broth)
• Very finely chop oysters.(If using prepackaged oysters reserve liquid).
• Melt butter in a skillet and sauté onion, garlic and ginger root over medium heat until onions are soft.
• Add minced oysters, thyme, oregano and basil.
• Sift in flour, mixing constantly, until flour is cooked into butter.
• Whisk in one cup of oyster broth or oyster liquid from prepackaged oysters, plus ½ cup of chicken broth, ½ cup cream and ¼ cup soy sauce.
• Now pour sauce through a sieve, removing any solids that do not pass through the holes in the sieve.
• Return remaining liquid sauce to skillet.
• Mixing constantly, cook sauce over medium heat until thickened. If not thickening properly, add a small amount of corn starch and water and cook over heat until thick enough.
• If desired, add ground black pepper to taste.

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the beef into slices 5cm long and 5mm thick, cutting against the grain of the meat. Put them in a bowl. Mix in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine or Sherry and cornflour. Leave to marinate for 20 mins.
• Heat a wok until it is very hot, then add the groundnut oil. When it is slightly smoking, add the beef slices and stir-fry for 5 mins or until lightly browned. Remove the meat from the wok and drain well in a colander set inside a bowl. Discard the drained oil.
• Wipe the wok clean and reheat it over a high heat. Add the peppers, and cook for 3-4 mins or until softened. Add the oyster sauce and bring it to a simmer. Return the drained beef slices to the wok and toss them thoroughly with the oyster sauce. Turn the mixture on to a serving platter, top with the spring onions and serve immediately.

OYSTER SAUCE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the oyster sauce, garlic, sugar and water. Mix together and taste the sauce; if it is not sweet enough, add sugar to taste.
• After chicken has baked for 25 minutes, pour sauce over it and bake for another 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
