Matters needing attention in the use of oyster sauce 1. Don't leave it at will. Many people have many things in their kitchens, including many spices. These condiments are usually put on the stove, because if you have to take them out of the cupboard every time you cook, it will be very troublesome, and of course there is no need to bring them in after eating. Many condiments have a long shelf life. As long as it is covered and sealed, you don't have to worry about going bad quickly, but oyster sauce is not like this. Oyster sauce is a mixed seasoning of many foods, which is not stable. Especially when the temperature is high, oyster sauce is easy to mold, which causes some substances in oyster sauce to change and tastes bad. The correct way is to store oyster sauce in the refrigerator or in the shade away from the stove. The oyster sauce has long shelf life and good preservation effect.
Don't put it too early. We usually use a lot of condiments when cooking. Some condiments were used in the pickling process. For example, before cook the meat, adding cooking wine can improve the taste and make the fried dishes more delicious. Some condiments are added after the dishes are cooked. Seasoning is usually not recommended in the middle of cooking, because it will directly affect the freshness of food. Many seasonings are not suitable for heating for too long, and so is oyster sauce. If oyster sauce is added too early in cooking, it will destroy the freshness of oyster sauce and lose its nutrition. Therefore, whether it is a "short, flat and quick" cooking or a dish that can only be cooked after a long time, it is best to wait until the dish is almost cooked.
3. Use less seasonings such as oyster sauce. Oyster sauce is not oil. It is actually a mixture of various condiments. The taste already contains the flavors of various condiments, and the collocation is also very scientific. If we are not very sensitive or familiar with the taste, don't put more condiments after oyster sauce, which will affect the taste of food. Of course, if you are proficient in cooking, you can also use oyster sauce, if you want to make some flavors stand out, but most of us don't have that high cooking level. Oyster sauce itself is also used for cooking, so it is best to use it less.
