About Oyster Sauce
A concentrated oyster-sauce condiment common in Cantonese cooking.
Health Benefits of Oyster Sauce
The essence of umami
Oyster sauce is oyster extract concentrated with salt and starch; its umami comes from nucleotides and amino acids in the oyster juice. It's ~114 kcal and 5.1g protein per 100ml. Combining salty, savoury and sweet, one spoon over stir-fried greens means no extra salt or MSG needed.
Use and storage
Add oyster sauce near the end of cooking - prolonged high heat costs freshness. Once opened, keep it refrigerated, as it can mould at room temperature. It also tenderises and glazes marinated meat. Oyster sauce + garlic + soy is the versatile 'trio' for Chinese home cooking.
