About Sauce, oyster, ready-to-serve
Oyster sauce is a thick, glossy, brown sauce made by simmering oysters into a concentrated extract and thickening and seasoning it. Rich and savory with a gentle sweetness, it is a cornerstone of Cantonese and wider Chinese cooking.
At roughly 51 calories per 100 grams it is fairly light, though like other Asian sauces it is high in sodium and used in modest amounts. Its strength is a deep, rounded umami flavor — less salty-sharp than soy sauce and with more body — that coats and clings to ingredients.
It is the classic finishing sauce for stir-fried vegetables such as gai lan, and a key seasoning for noodles, meat and tofu dishes. Vegetarian versions made from mushrooms offer a similar savory depth without the oysters.
