What You’ll Need to Make Stir Fry with Oyster Sauce

Making quick and delicious oyster sauce recipes at home is easier than you think. Here are the two essentials to get started:

1. A Wok (or Frying Pan)

A wok is a staple in Asian cooking—its wide, sloped design allows for high-heat, fast cooking, making it perfect for any stir fry with oyster sauce. No wok? No worries. A large frying pan works just fine for most stir fry recipes.

2. Oyster Sauce

Earthy, slightly sweet and salty, and, to many people’s surprise, doesn’t have a particularly strong fishy taste. Oyster sauce is a must-have for flavor-packed cooking. It's commonly used for dipping, marinating, and especially for stir-frying. While it’s made from oysters, it doesn’t have an overpowering seafood taste—making it a versatile base for countless recipes with oyster sauce.

Lee Kum Kee offers several types of oyster sauces that are good for stir-frying:

• Premium Oyster Sauce
• Panda Brand Oyster Sauce
• Less Sodium Oyster Sauce

Lee Kum Kee also offers gluten-free and vegan oyster sauces, among other oyster-flavored sauce varieties. 

Quick Tip:

Want to save time in the kitchen? Swap fresh garlic and ginger with Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic and Minced Ginger. Just use the same amount as you would fresh—no peeling, no chopping, just straight to the wok.
