Chicken & Bok Choy In Oyster Sauce

I had this recipe bookmarked for long time and finally today got a chance to make this as all the ingredients are handy and available. Any South Asian Stir fry are always quick and health. You cannot miss on the fragrance of the garlic and ginger when fried in butter to get that extra flavor over the vegetable or any meat for that matter. Bok choy and chicken are going to be a terrific combination with oyster sauce. Traditionally, oyster sauce is made by slowly simmering oysters in water until the juices caramelize into a thick, brown, intensely flavorful sauce. This thick, brown sauce with a sweet, salty, and earthy flavor is adding body, flavor and color to the dish.
