Writer's picture: Sheyne BranconnierSheyne Branconnier

Oyster sauce is a thick, dark brown sauce that is commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. It is made by simmering oysters in water until they release their juices, which are then thickened and reduced with salt and other ingredients, such as soy sauce and sugar. The resulting sauce has a rich, savory flavor and is often used as a condiment or as an ingredient in sauces and marinades.

Oyster sauce is commonly used in dishes such as stir-fries, noodles, and rice dishes. It is also sometimes used as a dipping sauce or as a topping for steamed vegetables. Some people also use oyster sauce as a marinade for meats, such as chicken or beef, as it can help to add flavor and tenderize the meat.

Oyster sauce can be found in most Asian grocery stores and in the international aisle of many supermarkets. It is also available online. Oyster sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for several months, although it may lose some of its flavor over time.

Overall, oyster sauce is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that is commonly used in many different types of dishes. It adds a rich, savory depth of flavor and can help to elevate the taste of many different types of recipes.
