Oyster sauce is rich and delicious. This is our favorite condiment in our daily cooking. Not only the salt is salty, but also the soy sauce has color. Combining the freshness of oyster sauce with the sweetness of some sugar, most dishes can be cooked.

In this way, if the traditional oyster sauce is really made of oysters, then the price of buying oysters is not enough, let alone the essence oyster sauce. If it is a real oyster, it will get the essence after cooking, and then add some auxiliary ingredients such as salt to cook it, so as to get a very fragrant sticky substance, which is also very expensive.

According to the cost price, traditional oyster sauce can't be bought. On the contrary, you can add a small amount of oyster sauce to the oyster sauce, and add ingredients such as sodium glutamate, sugar, salt and starch that can adjust the flavor. A very simple method. If your family likes oyster sauce, you can check the ingredient list behind it when you buy it. There are standards for the quantity and added ingredients of oysters.

1, don't mix.

Oyster sauce can increase the taste and umami flavor, because it contains not only salt, but also sodium glutamate, which is the main component of monosodium glutamate and chicken essence. When using oyster sauce, many people will add soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, which is totally unnecessary. On the contrary, this is a small "snake to the foot", which will make the salt exceed the standard because these condiments contain a lot of sodium, especially chicken essence.

2, not suitable for high temperature cooking

High temperature will make oyster sauce lose its flavor and nutrition, so it is very important to add oyster sauce when cooking. Try to add it before the pan, or after it is hot. Do not add oyster sauce directly. The taste will be worse. You should use it after heating it.

3, should not be used with these spices.

Oyster sauce has a fresh taste, but this fresh taste is relatively light, which is not suitable for use with strong spices, such as sour, sweet, hemp, spicy and other spices, which will cover up the fresh taste of oyster sauce. The only function is to make the taste more salty and provide a lot of sodium.
