Oyster sauce can be found at any Asian grocery and can often be found in supermarkets. Don’t buy the cheapest one you can find. It might taste like a mud puddle. A good one has a very distinct richness and really adds character to this dish. You also can leave it out of this recipe if desired. I might object, but I likely won’t be in your kitchen.
