Notes

I added Shaoxing wine to this recipe to enhance the overall flavor profile. It brings a rich, somewhat sweet, and complex taste that complements the savory notes of the oyster sauce. Additionally, the alcohol in the wine evaporates during cooking, leaving behind a rich flavor that enhances the overall taste of our Squid Stir-Fry!
