Note

Prepare the ginger by chopping the 1/4" slice into small pieces before adding it to the wok.

Do not overcook the oysters; they are done as soon as the edges curl during the blanching step and become opaque.

Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the ingredients to achieve a proper stir-fry texture.
