Product Information

Source of Vitamins and Minerals: The oyster sauce is rich in essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It also contains traces of vitamins A and C. These micronutrients contribute to maintaining bone health and supporting general well-being. I call oyster sauce “the queen of stir fry sauces”. Meat and veggie stir fries, fried rice, fried noodles…all of these are great places to use oyster sauce - and though you can use it as the only sauce, I like to use it in combination with soy sauce and fish sauce for a more complex flavour. Use soy sauce as a 1:1 substitute for oyster sauce. If you want to mimic the sweetness of oyster sauce, consider adding a pinch of sugar. 2. Fish sauce This doesn't match our taste test or the protein content in any way, EXCEPTthe two LKK brands differ as expected. I'm certain that this is because the way LKK defines “oyster extract” is the same between their 2 product lines, but other brands define it differently. How concentrated and diluted is this oyster extract? We don't know. And what does "oysters" even mean in the case of Healthy Boy? We also don't know. Not to mention the cooking process and the quality of oysters...there are just too many unknowns. As Bill’s father, a chef, used to say, “if you want to make any dish taste better, just add oyster sauce.” What is Oyster Sauce?

Use fish sauce in a 1:1 ratio, but be mindful of its strong aroma and flavor. Start with less fish sauce and adjust according to your taste. 3. Worcestershire sauce Ingredients: Water, sugar, salt, oyster extractives, monosodium glutamate as a flavor enhancer, modified corn starch, wheat flour, caramel color. While each brand has its unique characteristics, it’s the exploration and experimentation with these sauces that make cooking such a joy for me. Yes. While the flavours of Thai and Chinese oyster sauces are obviously different in a taste test, once it’s in a dish it’s close enough that it’s not going to make the dish taste inauthentic. If it makes you feel better, your local Thai restaurant is most likely using Panda.Today, Lee Kum Kee has grown into an international household name, with more than 200 products sold in more than 100 countries and regions globally. Its founding oyster sauce is a tried-and-tested pantry staple. Oyster sauce is a favorite condiment served alongside just about any dish but some that come to mind right away are dim sum favorites like Chinese stuffed peppers, Hakka style stuffed tofu, and of course, Lo Bak Go daikon radish cake.

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables. When cooking with oyster sauce, remember that a little goes a long way. Start by adding a small amount to your dish and adjust according to your taste preferences. It may take some experimentation to find the perfect balance that suits your palate.

Use it very sparingly in your dishes. Start with half a teaspoon and mix well, add more only if needed. Oyster sauce works well with marinating. It actually eliminates the unpleasant smell of your meat and fish. Marinate them with your oyster sauce overnight for best results. Purity of flavor — How does the sauce taste when you eat it straight from the bottle? Does it have an overwhelming cloying sweetness? Is it too salty? Does it taste more like soy sauce or oyster? Is there a balance between sweet and saltiness?

MSG and Preservatives: Some oyster sauce brands may contain monosodium glutamate (MSG) and other preservatives to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life. Some people may maintain sensitivities to these additives, leading to headaches, dizziness, or stomach upset. If you're concerned about these ingredients, opt for brands free of MSG and preservatives.A high-quality oyster sauce will have oyster extracts or oyster essence as one of its primary ingredients. Avoid sauces that list ‘artificial flavors’ or ‘oyster-flavored’ as main ingredients.
