Prepare Before Stir-Frying

	One of the keys to success when stir-frying is to prepare all the ingredients ahead of time. As most stir-fry dishes are done cooking in minutes, there is no time to stop and do prep work. This includes every aspect of the recipe including the sauce. Make sure you have all ingredients prepared before you begin stir-frying and you can concentrate on cooking technique.

Oyster Sauce

	Oyster sauce is an Asian condiment produced from oyster essence or extract, salt, sugar and water. The mixture is thickened and bottled for purchase. Authentic oyster sauce can be prepared at home by simmering oysters for an extended period of time over very low heat. The liquid in the oysters thickens and creates a naturally sauce.
