FRENCH OYSTER SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place chicken thighs in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the oyster sauce, garlic, sugar and water. Mix together and taste the sauce; if it is not sweet enough, add sugar to taste.
• After chicken has baked for 25 minutes, pour sauce over it and bake for another 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Put the beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry and cornflour into a bowl and mix together until well combined. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
• Heat a wok or large frying-pan until it is very hot. Add the oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the beef slices and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until they are browned. Remove the beef strips and set aside to drain in a colander over a bowl. Discard the drained oil.
• Wipe the wok or pan clean and reheat it over a high heat until it is hot. Add the oyster sauce, and bring to a simmer. Return the drained beef slices and mix them thoroughly with the sauce. Turn the mixture onto a serving platter and garnish with the spring onions.
• Meanwhile, for the salad, mix the mustard, curry powder, soy sauce, salt, pepper and olive oil together in a bowl.
• Cook the broccoli, green beans and cauliflower in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then add peas and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables into a warm bowl, then add the water chestnuts and tomatoes, shallots and chives. Drizzle over the salad dressing and mix until well combined.
• Serve the salad alongside the beef.
