I DO have an alternative for oyster sauce.....put a teaspoon of (kikkoman)soy and some nice chopped portabella mushrooms in there... that'll do ya! The vegitarians use an oyster sauce only made from mushooms and i like the taste of it!
I hope that helps ya! And hey, thanks for all of your kind words, it means a lot!
