Chinese restaurants are known for their ability to whip up a large number of dishes in a remarkably short amount of time. The secret is stir-frying a quick cooking method in which small pieces of meat and vegetables are tossed into hot oil in a wok or skillet. You can use the same technique at home to recreate Chinese takeout or to whip up a quick work-night dinner. This recipe for Chinese Chicken with Oyster Sauce delivers the dish without having to ask for takeout. (Speaking of takeout you could also make a pot of white rice with it.)

Ready-made oyster sauce available at most supermarkets adds the essence of oysters to this dish and the distinctive flavor associated with a number of Chinese dishes. Oyster sauce is a condiment consisting of oyster juice salt sugar; some versions use soy sauce thickened with cornstarch. The final flavor of a recipe using oyster sauce—combined with all the other ingredients—will be savory rather than explicitly fishy.
"This was a quick and easy meal and my family enjoyed it with rice. Most of the prep time is spent measuring and combining the marinade and sauce ingredients. My sauce came out a little thick but was easily thinned with a tablespoon or two of water." —Diana Rattray
