I have absolutely fallen love with oyster sauce in the past few months. One day I was watching KZbin videos trying to find a way to make my stir fry taste better because it always tasted like something was missing. I ran across one of Jet Tila's videos where he talked about various sauces. Then I also found your videos and noticed you use the same sauce so out of curiosity I bought some and fell in love with it. I was reluctant to use it because I don't like oysters. But once I tried it I was sold on it because I realized that oyster sauce is that elusive, mysterious flavor that I've been looking for over the years! Wahoo! Now I just need to explore hoisen sauce too. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with us. I really like how you explain things. Have a great day!

@@drlard_ ..I must be doing something wrong, because my stir fry's always taste too strong, sauce wise. I think I might be over doing the addition of the sauce. I have a mixture of a "Sauce for all stir fry's " and I followed the recipe to the letter, so it must be the amount I use.

Thank you Tak for giving us perfectly clear and understandable information and advice on wok cooking. I have a stainless steel pan very close to being a wok and a spatula that shovels like your professional one, so I jumped right in yesterday and made the fried rice you describe with hoisin someone had given me and some teriyaki sauce. I really am glad to understand oyster sauce because everything was perfect but it was sweeter than I wanted. Now I can get some oyster sauce for today's version. Oh, and instead of rice yesterday I used millet I had in the fridge and we loved it! So glad to have a savory way of serving millet as it is a high nutrient grain without the threat of arsenic which rice has. I look forward to cooking wok style nearly every day now because we eat a wide variety of veggies. However, I'm not convinced of your choice of Cuisenart wok because there are so many complaints about it on Amazon. It now weighs 1 lb instead of 3 according to the description and I wonder if the company has cheapened their manufacture of it to give it such a low price. People complain the sides are very thin. I suspect the one you bought years ago was much better quality. Thanks again for being very thorough in your presentation. I'm learning a lot fast! Many blessings, Rachel

One night a couple of years ago I had a wild idea and baked some chicken leg quarters with Hoisin sauce. My wife enjoyed it. Before the kitchen could be cleaned one of her nieces and kids stopped by. My wife served up the food I had cooked to last a couple of days. Well, they enjoyed it to the point where they started coming into the kitchen and asking me what I put on/season the meat with. They'd asked her and she told them to ask their uncle, me. I pulled out the bottle and showed it to them and got hugs and pecks on the cheek. In my house if you like the food you hug or kiss the cook or both. We have 3 woks in the house and they're not only used for stir-fry.
