Oyster sauce is used in Chinese cooking more than people realize. It imparts great flavor and essential in any stir fry in my opinion. Buy the good stuff as some companies will use very little Oyster and use fillers like starch and coloring. On a healthy note, Oyster sauce is also available for vegetarians which is made from Oyster Mushrooms… :) For those of us watching sodium, I wouldn’t add much sodium when using Oyster Sauce…

Modnar: I wasn't clear, but the Sake was essentially the main braising liquid. It could easily be substituted with water, but I figure if we're using water I might as well add some flavor, and the ricey sweetness of the Sake felt right. You could also pick up a good rice cooking wine at the nearest asian supermarket or if you're lucky enough to have it available in your area, Baijiu. I don't know what to say about oyster sauce. It's made from an oytser broth reduced down into a syrup. It's powerful and packed with umami goodness. I suggest picking up a bottle and just quickly stir-frying some brocolli with a tablespoon of the stuff to see how you like it.

What flavor does the Sake bring to the party? Is there a substitute for it? Same question for the oyster sauce, not a big fan of oyster sauce (ok, never had it but it sounds icky). This does look like something the family would enjoy though. I will add it to my list of upcoming gastronomic experiments. I mean anything with butter, bacon, mushrooms and beef can’t be that bad, can it?

This sounds, and looks, mighty tasty.
Guess I have an excuse to buy a dutch oven now.

…and a large amount of bacon.
