Chinese seasoning: Oyster sauce
Oyster sauce is made from oyster extract. It is a thick, dark brown sauce with a rich oyster taste. This all-purpose seasoning sauce is primarily used for stir frying meats, seafood, and vegetables, but also used to enhance the taste and appearance of any dish. Its rich, savory flavor is perfect when combined with a bit of oil or water and used as a dipping sauce.When selecting a oyster sauce, we recommend purchasing one in a glass bottle, and one that is a bit on the expensive side. You may pay a few dollars more, but the difference in quality is definitely noticeable. In general, they tend to be less salty, and less fishy. If you buy one in a plastic bottle, or in a can, transfer the remainder after use into a glass container or bottle, and store in the refrigerator. Oyster sauce should always be stored in the refrigerator after opening to lengthen the shelf life. |
