I have been doing quite a lot of kids bento for Darrius lately which prompted me to come out with a lot of finger food recipes. Though Darrius is pretty receptive to what ever I served him but there are still food that he will refuse. Therefore I will try to create different recipes using the same few ingredients.
Darrius is a huge fan of the pan-fried soy sauce chicken so I used that recipe to make drumlets which is very convenient to be packed into bento box as compared to chicken drumsticks. Today I am using oyster sauce instead.
Previously I never keep any oyster sauce at home simply because PiggyBeng believed that oyster sauce was made of left over water from fish in the market. o_O Yeah, apparently my BIL who used to operate a Chinese restaurant in Europe and he was told that this was how oyster sauce derived from. :P
Luckily I do watch TV and I've learned from a Master Chef (Tho-tho) from Hong Kong that oyster sauce actually came from boiling the fresh oysters with some ingredients.

Methods
- Wash and dry the chicken drumlets with a paper towel. Marinade the chicken drumlets with all the ingredients and best leave over night.
- Heat up the wok with little oil (the skin from the chicken will release oil) and pan fried all the drumlets on low heat.
- When the drumlets are about 90% cooked, pour in the remaining sauce from the marinade and cook till all the drumlets are fully glazed with the sauce.
Yummy looking. :) Don't worry much about the oyster sauce. My FIL has a friend who owns a oyster sauce factory, which is popular name in M'sia. And they really do get the sauce from oysters but not fish water. :P
