i can tell you when i started this little project of mine on how to make a good stir fry at home a lot of recipes for called for oyster sauce-it wasn’t only til I actually added it that you got a real flavor out of anything= but be forewarned- it’s thick and it’s strong & you’ll need to cut it.
personally? it’s really delicious! I’ve eaten bad chinese from a take out in my neighboorhood- let’s say “bad”= uninspired. I thought why not try to economize and replicate? & hey- i don’t go for type of rice they use in these joints- It’s easier to steam some Jasmine Rice (DEER BRAND) in the rice cooker. I’m a sucker for Jasmine Rice. Ever see that 20lb with the zipper in a brown fabric bag with handle and pic of the deer on the front? I’m a sucker for Jasmine rice that’s why I gave up eating potatoes (lol)

Dont buy pre/par boiled rice in large amounts as a lot of Asian markets put this on their shelves.
Buy regular rice like the Deer Brand & check to see what date it was harvested- the older the rice grain the better because it hardens just by sitting & it steams out great you can steam out this particular brand double the size +1/4 of the raw grain light & fluffy.
