Steps:
- Combine the chicken, oyster sauce, and soy sauce in a mixing bowl until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce; set aside.

CHINESE VEGETABLE STIR FRY
My daughter found this on ABCNEWS.com and has made it several times now. Sometimes we are missing an ingredient the recipe calls for so we just add something different. We use a 4 ounce can of sliced mushrooms instead of the shitake. We also use frozen broccoli and snow peas to speed this recipe up.

Steps:
- Wash the cooked spaghetti, make sure it is damp.
- Prepare broccoli florets. Peel and slice carrot. Slice button mushrooms into thin slices. Chop up garlic cloves.
- Heat up some olive oil in a wok. When hot, pour out excess oil from wok. (I don't like my food oily, so I do this; but it's optional.).
- Fry 1/2 of the chopped garlic until fragrant. Add carrots and stir-fry, making sure heat is evenly spread. After about a minute, add broccoli florets. Stir-fry for a few minutes, until broccoli begins to darken, and then add the mushrooms and continue stir-frying for about a minute.
- Turn heat down and add 1/2 cup water to the wok. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin sauce. Continue stir-frying for a couple of minutes.
- Turn the stove off and cover the wok with a lid to make sure it remains warm.
- Prepare another wok by heating up some olive oil. Pour out any excess oil.
- Fry the rest of the garlic until fragrant. Add the spaghetti and stir-fry, making sure to mix well.
- Add 2 tbsp soy sauce (or to taste) and mix well. Turn heat down a little bit and add 1/4 cup water. Continue stir-frying for a few minutes before turning your stove off.
- Pour spaghetti and the spaghetti's 'sauce' into a plate. Add the vegetable stir-fry on top, making sure that the vegetable stir fry's sauce is also added inches.
- Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use high-quality vegetables: Fresh, crisp vegetables will result in a more flavorful stir-fry. Choose vegetables that are in season and at their peak of ripeness.
- Cut vegetables uniformly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a variety of vegetables, cut them into similar-sized pieces.
- Use a hot wok or pan: A hot wok or pan will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from sticking. If your wok or pan is not hot enough, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry.
- Stir-fry in small batches: If you overcrowd the wok or pan, the vegetables will not cook evenly. Stir-fry the vegetables in small batches so that they have room to cook properly.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil are all common seasonings used in Chinese vegetable stir-fries. Experiment with different combinations of seasonings to find your favorite flavor profile.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Chinese vegetable stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that can be made with a variety of vegetables. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy.
