Notes
1. If you wish to make this dish vegetarian/vegan, replace regular oyster sauce with vegetarian oyster sauce which is known as “mushroom vegetarian stir-fry sauce/素食蚝油”. If none of these is available, increase light soy sauce to 2½ tbsp.
2. The steaming set-up can be a bamboo/metal/plastic steamer, or a wok/large pot with a steamer rack (You may also use a small bowl to support the plate).
