Oyster sauce is a universal seasoning, a top several kinds of dishes put oyster sauce, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and chicken essence do not have to put, after all, it is particularly prominent fresh flavor. Even sugar can not be put, salt should be reduced, because oyster sauce is characterized by ~ fresh salty with sweet. Having used oyster sauce for more than a decade, I had worried whether eating it regularly was harmful to my health. In order to clarify the issue, the premise is that we have to know what oyster sauce is actually made of? What are the ingredients? As long as you understand the root cause, naturally learned oyster sauce has no harm.

Roughly 130 years ago, the inventor ~ Li Jinshang in the coastal areas of Guangdong opened a small teahouse, understood to be a teahouse on the line, specializing in selling boiled oysters. Business was mediocre, but the good news was that oysters (called oysters in the north) were plentiful in the area, and the price was affordable enough not to lose money.

One day, Li Jinshang was busy doing something else and forgot about the oysters in the pot. Waiting to remember, ran back to see, oyster soup has become a brown viscous liquid, in the bottom of the pot gurgling bubbling, surprisingly not paste, emitting a burst of rich aroma. With a hand dipped in a taste, suddenly bright, praised the earth is so delicious things. Thus, oyster sauce was born, and then later improved, it became the oyster sauce on the market today.

After the above introduction, we learned that oyster sauce is made of oysters, water, salt boiling and concentrated. Then the nutritional value of natural non-trivial, oysters itself is rich in high protein, a variety of amino acids, iron and other trace elements. In particular, it contains zinc is ranked among the top of the food, it is one of the important constituents of male spermatozoa. Also contains iodine, taurine are many times higher than meat, for the human body's blood pressure, intelligence has a lot of benefits. Only a loud title - "seabed milk"!

How much does oyster sauce cost in the market, and is it similar to ordinary condiments. If it is really boiled by oysters, think about how it can be so cheap! The cost price of oysters are how much money, plus boiled concentrated many times, not taking into account the boiling time, labor costs, packaging ...... and so on, calculated production costs have to be heaven. Imagine, we make bone broth at home, even if it is simmered for two or three bells, the soup is only reduced by half, has not seen how thick. If the oysters are simmered as thick as oyster sauce, how many ingredients must be put ah!

Oyster sauce can only be described as an oyster-flavored condiment, not all boiled from oysters, in order to live up to its name, it does add a little "oyster bath water". You look at its ingredients list to know: water, oyster juice, salt, fruit grape syrup ...... oyster sauce, although added a lot of additives, but are in line with national food safety requirements, there is a strict implementation of standards. Today's modern condiments, there is no which is zero additives, including the most common soy sauce, chicken essence, soybean paste, etc. added no less than oyster sauce.

So it is best to use the squeeze bottle to oyster sauce, the use is also convenient, because oyster sauce is full of design disadvantages, the bottle mouth is particularly large, oyster sauce and thick, not paying attention to pour more.
