Oyster sauce is an indispensable condiment in catering now. Very popular with the public, because it is processed from oysters, so it is named oyster sauce. There are countless delicious foods processed with oyster sauce! For example, lettuce in oyster sauce, beef with fresh mushrooms in oyster sauce, noodles in oyster sauce and so on.

Speaking of oyster sauce, it was founded by China seasoning entrepreneur Li Jinshang in Nanshui Town, Zhuhai. Oysters abound in this area. In order to make a living, Li Jinshang opened a small teahouse in the local area and bought cooked oysters. One day, he made tea and cooked oysters as usual, but he forgot to cook oysters because he was busy with other things. Thinking of this, he opened the lid and saw that brown liquid was stuck on the bottom of the pot. Li Jinshang thought it was a boiled pot. But he touched the sticky liquid with his hand and smelled it. He doesn't want it to smell like paste, but it feels fragrant and fragrant, which makes people particularly appetizing. So he put the brown liquid in his mouth and tasted it. As a result, it was particularly delicious and a new condiment was born. 1888, Li Jinshang formally established Li Jinji Oyster Oil Village. Therefore, our new condiment is on the market.

After talking about the history of oyster sauce, let's talk about what raw materials oyster sauce is made of. Of course, oysters bear the brunt, followed by water, sugar, salt and starch, and other auxiliary materials. Oyster juice is cooked oysters, then concentrated, and added with sugar, salt and starch to make it a viscous liquid, which becomes the seasoning oyster sauce we use. Moreover, oyster sauce has been improved from generation to generation, forming many kinds of oyster sauce, but its main raw material is always oysters.

Finally, why do you use oyster sauce for cooking now? There are three reasons.

First, we add a little oyster sauce when cooking to improve the freshness of the dishes. Because oyster sauce is made of oysters, oysters have the characteristics of seafood, so when we add oyster sauce, it will definitely enhance the freshness of dishes. Reason 2: Oyster sauce is made of oysters, which are also called "undersea milk". The oyster sauce processed with it is delicious, nutritious and contains a lot of zinc and amino acids, so it is especially beneficial to people's health when we cook. After all, it is processed with natural ingredients. Reason 3: Oyster sauce also has the function of thickening and coloring food. Let go of the color of oyster sauce to look more appetizing. Adding oyster sauce to meat can thicken our broth. These are the answers to the questions I gave you. Oyster sauce is a salty seasoning, which should not be cooked for a long time and will destroy its salty taste. It is best to add it before cooking.

Oyster sauce is a special condiment that originated in Guangdong Province. When I was very young, oyster sauce was not common in northern China. At first, it was only seen in cooking programs on TV. It can be said that oyster sauce was a "mysterious" seasoning a long time ago.

However, in recent years, information and logistics have become more and more smooth, and local food cultures have collided and blended with each other. Oyster sauce has also become a common seasoning in family kitchens. Then we will make a comprehensive analysis of oyster sauce this time, from its "past life" at the beginning of its birth to its "present life". By the way, briefly share the difference between oyster sauce and other umami seasonings, precautions in use and so on.

What is oyster sauce made of? 1, the "past life" of oyster sauce

Oyster sauce was first born in a small family workshop in Nanshui Town, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province in 1888. At that time, a man named Li Jinshang left his hometown and came to Nanshui to make a living. Because there are a lot of oysters in the local area, he opened a small teahouse and cooked oysters to supplement his family.

The birth of oyster sauce is similar to stinky tofu, soy sauce and wine, and it is also an "accidental product" under coincidence. One day, Li Jinshang forgot to take care of oysters as usual. As a result, when he remembered, the oyster had been overcooked and turned into thick brown juice deposited on the bottom of the pot, which smelled very rich and tasted delicious.

So oyster sauce was born. The original oyster sauce is a mushy juice made by boiling and concentrating shelled oysters. This person is Li Jinshang, the founder of Li Jinji Oyster Village, and is also a well-known brand of oyster sauce and soy sauce until now.

2, oyster sauce "This Life"

Although the original oyster sauce was cooked with oysters, most oyster sauces on the market today are not so directly related to oysters.

Of course, this is not all business "slick", mainly because the cost is really unbearable. If only oysters are used for cooking, 100 kg of oysters are shelled, and after cooking for several hours, only less than 3 kg of pure oyster sauce can be obtained. Even ignoring artificial water and electricity and simply calculating the cost of oysters, this oyster sauce is not something that can be mass-produced and consumed on a large scale.

So what we see in the market now is that most of the raw materials of oyster sauce are only added with a part of "oyster sauce", then thickened with wheat starch and xanthan gum, and then colored with caramel color. Some of them use odorous nucleotides, sodium glutamate, etc. To provide umami flavor, while real oysters are rare.

3. Just choose high quality oyster sauce.

Nowadays, oyster sauce is mostly made of some oyster sauce with salt, sugar, starch and other substances. After all, if you only cook with oysters, then the price is really unacceptable to many people. Then among many oyster sauce products, we can choose according to the following points, and we can choose better oyster sauce.

Supplement: You can't choose a good oyster sauce just by looking at the consistency and color. With the help of starch, xanthan gum and caramel pigment, any consistency and color can be mixed. It is not that these blended oyster sauces are necessarily bad, but that they are not "high quality".

Why do many people like to cook with oyster sauce now? My hometown is in the northeast of China, about 3000 kilometers away from Guangdong. When I was a child, I really didn't use oyster sauce very much. I didn't even see this seasoning. But it is not because oyster sauce is not good, but because logistics and transportation were inconvenient in those days, and oyster sauce was not suitable for some stews in our hometown.

Now the situation is different, information and logistics are highly developed, and food culture collides with each other. Although restaurants and restaurant cuisines still adhere to their own styles, in daily practice, ordinary people use them as long as they feel useful, so now oyster sauce has long since gone out of its birthplace in Guangdong and entered the kitchens of thousands of households.

Oyster sauce is loved by so many people because it is suitable for many foods, and sometimes it has some irreplaceable functions, so there are naturally many more people using oyster sauce now than before. Let's share some usage suitable for oyster sauce, some cooking methods not suitable for oyster sauce and some matters needing attention related to oyster sauce.

Comprehensive answer to the usage of oyster sauce 1, appropriate usage of oyster sauce

Conclusion: Oyster sauce is a kind of condiment with weak flavor and wide practicability. Basically, some salty and delicious foods can be used properly.

2. Improper use of oyster sauce and matters needing attention

No seasoning is omnipotent, and oyster sauce is no exception. Although oyster sauce is suitable for many food practices, there are still some taboos.

Conclusion: Oyster sauce can be used for cooking methods such as mixing, stewing, roasting, sliding and frying, but it must be added at the end of cooking. Cooking at high temperature or for a long time will make oyster sauce lose its flavor. However, some dishes with spicy or sweet taste do not use oyster sauce, which simply does not reflect its unique flavor and may even have the opposite effect.

Finally, to sum up, the original oyster sauce is a sticky paste seasoning extracted from oysters after boiling and concentration. However, after the evolution of 100 years, due to cost, transportation, taste and other reasons, oyster sauce is basically only part of oyster sauce, which can be regarded as a kind of salty and slightly sweet "soy sauce paste".

Not so many people used oyster sauce before, mainly because the circulation of logistics and information was too slow. Now the situation is different, so oyster sauce will enter more kitchens. Will you prepare oyster sauce in your kitchen?

So this time it's all about oyster sauce. If it helps, please help me forward my collection.

Hello, let me answer this question. As for right, let's discuss it together.

Oyster sauce is made of oyster, which is a traditional seasoning commonly used in Guangdong and one of the most common sauces in the family.

Oysters, known as "undersea milk", are made by cooking, concentrating juice and adding auxiliary materials. Oyster sauce is delicious, fragrant and nutritious.

Oyster sauce is rich in trace elements and amino acids, mainly zinc, which is the first choice for people with zinc deficiency.

The content of glutamic acid in oyster sauce accounts for half of the total amino acids, which constitutes the main body of oyster sauce with nucleic acid. The higher the content of both, the more delicious the oyster sauce tastes.

Oyster sauce is rich in taurine and has health care functions such as enhancing human immunity.

Oyster sauce is made from raw oysters. Because it can be refreshed.

Today, I mainly talk to you about fuel consumption. Many chefs like to consume oil. No matter what they cook, they will add a few drops of oil consumption, which will make the dishes more delicious, so everyone uses oil consumption more and more frequently. I believe that most people only know that eating oil is a condiment, and others don't know much about it. Here is a brief introduction to fuel consumption.

Oil consumption first appeared in Guangdong, which happened by accident. Once, a chef had something to do while cooking oysters, and then forgot to turn off the fire. Suddenly he smelled a fragrance and suddenly remembered that it had nothing to do with fire. He ran over and found a thick layer of oyster sauce at the bottom of the pot, so he invented oyster sauce.

The earliest oyster sauce was made by processing and concentrating raw oysters, so it tasted so delicious.

Oyster sauce looks sticky and tastes bad, but you must not be deceived by its appearance. When cooking or making cold dishes, oyster sauce can replace seasonings such as monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, which will be more delicious, nutritious and healthier than them. And good oil has a wide range of uses, such as stir-frying meat, mixing noodles with cold dishes. Its biggest role in food is to enhance the umami taste of food.

Today I will share some delicious oyster sauce dishes with you.

Broccoli in oyster sauce

Broccoli also has high nutritional value. Today, we will teach this family to cook a delicious dish with oyster sauce and broccoli. First, we prepare a fresh broccoli and wash it. When washing broccoli, we can add some salt to water, and then soak broccoli in water for a period of time, which can better remove pesticide residues in broccoli. After the broccoli is washed, we cut it into small pieces, then prepare some garlic and cut it into powder. When you are ready, you can boil a pot of boiling water. After the water boils, put the broccoli in a pot and blanch it for one minute. Then take it out and drain it for later use. After that, we can boil hot oil in the pot. After the pot is hot, add a proper amount of cooking oil, then put the minced garlic into the pot and saute until fragrant, then add oyster sauce and soy sauce, thicken with a little starch, pour into the pot, and collect the juice until it is thick. Then pour the thick juice on the broccoli, and a delicious and nutritious broccoli in oyster sauce is ready.

Beef in oyster sauce

Compared with pork, beef has a very high nutritional value. We can also make a delicious dish with oyster sauce and beef. First, prepare a piece of beef, cut it into thin slices, and then add some seasoning to marinate for a few minutes. When we marinate beef, we can prepare some ginger slices, onion segments and minced garlic for later use. Then prepare sauce, necessary condiments, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil and water starch, and mix them evenly. After preparing these, we need to heat the pot and cool the oil, then put the prepared ginger slices, onion segments and minced garlic into the pot and fry until the fragrance comes out, then add our beef with sauerkraut and stir fry over high fire. When the beef is fried to 70% maturity, pour the juice we have prepared into the pot, continue to stir-fry with high fire, and when the meat is cooked, it can be served out of the pot. Such delicious beef in oyster sauce makes people drool.

Hello, oyster sauce is made of oysters. In detail, it is cooked slowly with oyster soup. Ten kilograms of oysters may cook several pairs of oyster sauce. Oyster sauce is used in cooking to make it fresh and tender.

Speaking of oyster sauce, let me say a few words. I read all the previous articles about Li Jintang's family history from Baidu search, and then added salt and vinegar to write a long discussion. Now there are many brands of oyster sauce on the market, just like soy sauce, which are all manufacturers of soy sauce and noodle sauce at the same time. Oyster sauce has become a popular condiment! I used to like oyster sauce very much. Adding proper amount of oyster sauce to cooking really added a certain flavor. In the late 1980s, I was recuperating in Zhuhai cadre sanatorium. During the visit to several nearby oyster factories, I found that oyster sauce was originally boiled with oyster water. More than 10 large iron pots were seen at the production site of one of the oyster factories. I poured oysters into the pot, cooked them, fished them out and dried them, which became the dried oysters on the market now. The Cantonese name is oyster sauce. After several times of boiling, the water in the pot became thicker. I saw the workers put a lot of salt in the water, and then put the water into the plastic bucket. I asked the workers why they put so much salt, and the answer was to prevent deterioration. At this time, I found that one end of the production workshop was full of various plastic buckets, such as Lee Kum Kee's, Foshan Haitian's and Guangzhou Zhimeizhai's. Water was transported back to the factory for filtration and a lot of monosodium glutamate was added. Sugar, pigment, cornmeal and oil have become your favorite condiments. I seldom buy oyster sauce from then on. You may find that if you put too much oyster sauce, those dishes will be especially salty, so try to put less salt in the dishes with oyster sauce. I'm here to teach you how to make people laugh.

At present, the retail price of oyster meat is about a catty in 30 yuan, and 10 catty of oyster meat may not boil a catty of oyster sauce. So, how much oyster sauce can you find in a few dollars a bottle of oyster sauce on the market now?
