Suggestions:
If you don't like the taste of the oyster, you can substitute with shrimp.
Chinese Sweet Chili Sauce
You should be able to find this in most oriental markets. It's not very spicy, just a hint, and it's sweet.
Sweet Potato Starch
This is also quite common in most oriental markets. Although it says tapioca startch... it's actually sweet potato starch, or yam starch.
