Description
Oyster sauce is a thick, dark, and intensely flavorful sauce commonly used in Chinese cuisine, particularly in stir-fries. It is made by simmering oysters in water and soy sauce until the mixture has reduced and thickened. The resulting sauce is rich, savory, and slightly sweet, with a unique umami flavor. Oyster sauce can be used as a marinade, a glaze, a dipping sauce, or added to stir-fries to enhance their flavor. While it contains oyster extract, it is not typically a predominant flavor in the sauce.
