  • Oyster sauce is probably the most commonly used sauce in stir-fry. It is prepared originally from oyster extract to provide umami flavor. However, it also contains salt, sugar, and MSG for flavoring. It has many applications in stir-fry dishes with meats, vegetables, and tofu. It is a quick and convenient way to add flavor to a dish rather than creating flavor with individual herbs and spices. However, I prefer individual seasoning agents whenever possible to have better control of the flavor that I like. I call this flavor chasing in my FAST cooking system.
    Oyster sauce is an excellent garnishing sauce. It is great for garnishing vegetable dishes, such as steamed vegetables. One of the most well known dishes in Chinese cuisine is Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, a dish originated in Southern China. Oyster sauce is used as a garnish for this iconic dish. Another dish that I use oyster sauce as a garnish is in foo young egg, an egg dish with tomatoes and other food ingredients. Oyster sauce is excellent for garnishing steam vegetables as well.

    Just discovered your wonderful channel in looking for uses for oyster sauce. Trying to recreate an American-Chinese restaurant favorite in the Detroit, Mi area that had noodles, shrimps, green onions, and topped by a hard boiled egg, swimming in an oyster type sauce that was rather slightly thick. How do I get the volume of sauce needed for this dish without just flavoring a commercial brown sauce with oyster sauce. This combination has a slightly bitter taste as opposed to just using the oyster sauce combination used on Chinese cabbage which is not enough sauce for the dish. Thank you in advance for being there and providing a great tutorial on oyster sauce. I just did not see anything about oyster sauce used on noodles.

    Recently started using this from lee kum kee (trying the premium one next) as i was trying to recreate a asian dish you can buy here (stir fried vegatables withchicken bean sprouts and mushrooms) and this ended up being the missing flavor component. Its a great sauce and forever on my shopping list. I also have a noodle broth recipe lined up with this as a base.
    And yes that cans are cheaper (but when investigating the hoisin version i discovered it is not the same product. The small jars or bottles in the case of oister sauce are of a higher concentration. the large cans are diluted and this may seem more economical but bottom line they are not. atleast not here. Other great sauces from lee kum kee are black pepper and black bean sauce. great for stur fry and you need very little of it.

      Hello, Thank you for your information. I have not compared the difference between the Lee Kum Kee can versus the bottle oyster sauce. At first glance, they did not seem to be different to me. I need to take a closer look in the near future. If that is the case, I wonder why they formulate it differently.

      @pino_de_vogel Před 4 lety +2

      @@wokwithtak what i noticed was that the large can has a different viscosity when i grabbed it. It was thinner. The jars are more like a paste. So then i checked the ingredients which here in europe are quire detailed and noted it was different. It was also in a store meant for restaurants. Maby it ir ready to use where the jars can be thinned before use. Your oyster sauce also seems thinner then the one i bought in a bottle. I cant check that one as they only sell the hojsin as a can here but if i ever see it i will check. Anyway keep up the good videos and have a great weekend.

    Oyster sauce, no matter what brand, is much too salty for my taste. I made some perfect Lo Mein with vegetables and kicked up large shrimp yesterday.

Gave half of my two person recipe to my neighbor across the hall because she told me she never cooks Chinese food, only treats herself to an occasional restaurant meal out. This morning, the bottle of oyster sauce got 86’d, into the trash.
