"no one knows how to make oyster sauce" haha.. very nice recipe, the crispy shiitake looked delicious.

[@gilraen789]

Mushrooms are a superfood containing antioxidants, riboflavin and selenium. Bok choi is a delicious green. together- super taste and nutrition. I want some now!

[@eddyleelkkcom]

@33barbington i start looking for oyster sauce and you made a real good comment on oyster sauce.

[@kaoristu]

what about sesame oil? it's got really good flavour

[@basselope1418]

you can probably use regular oil.

I think he was cooking using Lee Kum Kee, I cook stir fries often and I know. If you don't believe me, then just do a google image search. mOyster sauce is actually made of oyster mushroom extract, which is why it has the oyster moniker. Meh.

[@kaoristu]

Ouch, he said it's the best to put the dried Shiitake in REALLY hot water?? That totally ruins the flavour of Shiitake!!!!!! He had to put them in cold water and soak them for at least 2 hours or we, Japanese, soak them over night in the fridge. If you put them in a boiling hot water, it'd just become all soggy and bitter. Also, there is no plural form for Shiitake. It's either Siitake or Shiitake mushrooms.

[@kaoristu]

oh but actually use the regular oil: sesame oil=3:1

[@lonewolfzzz]

He is in fact using Lee Kum Kee brand. I can tell from the bottle. The comments however, just makes him look silly for not doing his homework.

[@donnybuckingham8031]

If you put the water from the mushrooms in the pan, you have dirt in your dish

[@supercooled]

@kali17 and a comment that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter is such a vapid thing. Grow up! The brand of the oyster sauce looked to be panda. I've used those before.

[@jayzz2451]

Lee kum kee panda brand contains msg.

[@candystrong1]

Actually I was watching "How it's made" and depending on the brand Oyster sauce is made from Oysters and soy sauce just to name a few ingredients! And I use Oyster sauce many of times it far from ketchup! I'm a cook and I can tell his dish is bland very lil taste! By the way just bcuz he ask a

[@33barbington]

I am disappointed with Mr. Bittman's flippant comments about oyster sauce. He apparantly has not done his homework on the subject. This really surprised me as I have a great deal of respect for him. I can't tell which brand of oyster sauce he used in the video and I hope he is not using the cheap brands. I suggest that he start looking into the matter with the Lee Kum Kee brand from Hong Kong. Look at their website please.

[@turkijan1983]

where is the beef??? ;)

[@candystrong1]

As I was sayin! Just bcuz he ask an Asian dude about oyster sauce don't mean all ASAINS or his friend know whatsup with oyster sauce! It's like asking a Mexican dude do the really use chile in hot sauce?! Smfh! Research before making claims!!

[@donnybuckingham8031]

[@donnybuckingham8031]
